Hi,
Aerosport power gave me an assembled fuel hose with my engine. It is too long, but I was thinking I could make two hoses out of one bycutting it half.
This hose appears to be Aeroquip 666 hose (label says 1500 psi). I can't seem to cut it without the steel braid flaring out. I've tried the masking tape and safety wire tricks, and they do keep the braid from flaring, until you remove them, then the braid flares out. These tricks seem to work fine on Aeroquip 601 hoses.
Is there a trick to cutting 666 hose, or a tip to get the fitting on the 666 hose when the braid has flared slightly (without buying a $100 tool!).
Thanks
