My credo
Get to it
Gents, I have blown the every hose off my relocation kit at every fitting, y'all got any tricks for keep the damn things on the fittings? I'm sick of dumping oil everywhere over and over again. i've tried bigger clamps, even doubled them up. They just keep popping.

I poop in the furnace.
There shouldn't be that much oil pressure unless something is clogged...

I would ditch the clamps & get some custom hoses made. I had NAPA make some hoses with NPT fittings that thread directly into the oil kit & have never had a leak.

I agree with this as most oil filter relocation kits come with push on fittings, hose & clamps.
nothing special is given for the hoses. something is wrong here......
