i reckon there was approx 40% reduction of internal space due to the delamination of the old hose. the other hose looked ok.
car goes better and next mod the egr :twisted:
cheers

I was amazed by the difference that my silicon hoses made, mine are the 3 ply Samco not 5 ply like B.A.S.:o

All our premium grade silicone hoses come with an oil resistant 'flouro' liner, which has a dark grey colour. This is used as an important protective barrier, to prevent oil from migrating through the layers, causing discolouring and delamination of the hoses. This lining is very expensive and is often omitted in 'budget' hoses, so is a good indication of quality
Urban Panzer, I'm not sure of the answer, I'm sure B.A.S. will be around to put us straight. But you can see from these pictures the inner layer is a different material from the outer on the BAS hoses.. I'm happy with mine.

Thank you gentlemen for a very interesting artcle, question where in Brissy can you obtain the BAS hoses.:D
Military, I'm guessing that you need to order them direct from the UK website. I just wish they had hoses listed for my Disco 300 TDi :(!

Q. Are the hoses suitable for oil and petrol?
Standard hoses are only suitable for air and water, for oil vapour we offer fluoro silicone hoses.
As stated.. straight from Bell Auto's site..Quote:
