1992 PT40 Generator coolant hoses

[jim riordan]

Mike, I dont know where you are located. West Marine is not usally the best
unless you want a cooler or some shoes or the like. A place that might have a
better price would be more of a marine supply to the trade. Let me know where
you are located.

In my bus the fitting in the back where the hose goes through was not so
important as there were some brackets on the side of the dog house where the
hose were attached and held them.

At first I thought about just runing one long run for each the supply
and return. But then I figured that would not work as that fitting
at the firewall needs to remain so the spring that makes sure the
hoses returns to the dog house does not pull the hose through the
firewall. I checked with West Marine for 1" ID wet exhaust hose,
but they do not stock it and the damn hose is damaged so I have to
buy it at the auto parts place at $9.48 a foot. Need 15' to do from
the back of the dog house to the radiator and they just barely have
enough in stock. Will have to do the genset side later after they
get more in.

through the firewall/box at the back of the enclosure there were
fiting that we had to remove (damaged-corroded). we then were able to
use MARINE grade hoses which we got at our local marine supplier. we
ran those as long as we could. This was a time consuming and dirty
job. Make sure you leave a long enough run in the generator dog house
so the gen can move in and out!
