"Sweating" heater hoses???

[budnate]

stinking CHEAP AZZ RUBBER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! same problem over the last year with Tempo and other brand rubber squeez bulbs for outboards...took me a bit to get a handle on it, it was letting gas weep but even worse was letting it pull air and fuel when running and giving all kinds of grief thinking the carb was fouled as it would not idle very well and even just die from not pulling fuel from the tank just pulling air...bottom line who ever is making the rubber stuff lately SUCKS!! China????

I had the same problem with cheap repo heater hoses.

I have that problem with one of my smog hoses - except that it's an original hose from '70! I know why it does it though - I swiped some vinylex on it a few years ago, and it's been sweating ever since

I wonder if it could be from all the years that used car lots put shiney crap on them to make the engine compartment look cleaner. Now the stuff is weeping off.

I pulled these smog hoses off of a '70 Chevelle in a junk yard, never had any shiney crap on these

Too much Armor All. Plus if you guys would run your cars once or twice a year that would not happen!

Thanks guys! The previous owner of my car was in his 70's and has done no engine detailing that I can see, so I don't think it is rubber treatment in my case.

Just ordered up a nice set of Diamond Back red lines for her too Sam so I can get it out once or twice a year
