Fill-Rite FRH07512 Hose with Static Wire and Internal Spring

No recommended it please don’t sell it

UPDATE! Manufacturer's customer service was awesome, they sent me a new hose which was much softer and more pliable than the one it replaced. They also sent me a shipping label to return my original one. Apparently there may have been a troubled batch... it happens. Its a bad situation, but it happens. I'm happy, readjust rating to 5 stars. Their customer service says it all!Original Post:The end wasn't properly crimped onto the hose. The hose just didn't appear to be in the brass end all the way when I got it, but I foolishly did not send it back. After only about 1 use per month (thats about 4 uses since purchase!) the end suddenly and very unexpectedly came off a portion of the hose, running a small split up the hose at the brass connecting end. First spraying fuel then less than a second later gushing it all over me, soaking through my clothes, my cell phones, my wallet, my car, my neighbor's car and both of our houses for about a 15ft radius from where I was standing. My neighbor is a smoker, and is almost always outside having his nicotine fix, its a lucky thing the wind wasn't blowing that direction... this could have killed me and my neighbors, destroyed our properly or severely harmed me with burns over my ENTIRE BODY had there have been a fire due to being completely soaked through.I am going to contact the manufacture and see what they wish to do about this, will post with updates.

This hose is much more flexible than the hose that came with my 12 VDC fuel transfer kit. Makes it much easier to coil on the hanging rack and uncoil to use. I hope it stays this flexible in the cold.

This item is not near as sturdy as the 50 year old hose that it replaced. I will be surprised if I get 10 years out of this one. But, who knows?With that said, it is working great now.
