Ravin R10 man Posted January 14, 2018 Report Share Posted January 14, 2018 It was so cold at the job Sat a.m.,-25... that after start up to let machine warm up, I pulled up to fuel up and grabbed my transfer pump hose, it Snapped completly off near the pump! I took off the handle on other end, threaded it into pump and got fueled up. Have heard of that happening to others but a first for me.

stevebeilgard Posted January 20, 2018 Report Share Posted January 20, 2018 I'm thinking there was water in the fuel that settled in the hose and broke. Maybe? But no, I've never heard of that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
