Ok.....so I agree....I'll claim my place as the dumb@$$ here. It was kinked. Now in trying to install this oem hose....how do I get it on? Any tips or tricks? Ends are VERY tight! Literally took some skin off trying to get this thing on. So any advice here would be greatly appreciated!

I would have never thought to use boiling water. Worked great! Submerged hose for 2 minutes, pulled it out, slid right on. When it cooled back down, was very snug again on fittings. Great tip. Thanks. Unfortunately weather here has been right and wrong, but hoping this is the end to this headache! Just waiting to get her on the road and open her up to find out. I do have one other question though. I was told I shouldn't use worm clamps on this oem hose. Anyone one know if this is a problem or not? Was all I had at the time and was told after install.

However, to my knowledge worm gear clamps are NOT suggested for ANY EFI installation because of the fuel pressure that is required. I think that due the type of hose that HD is using, plus the fact that they are so tight on the fittings, it would probably be ok for worm gear clamps but like I said... the fewer times I get in the tank the better I feel ...

you need to bench test the fuel pump assembly, there is a relief valve and also a regulator in there. I thought it was my hose but ended up being the regulator. The regulators have been known to crack from time to time, mine was pissing when bench tested
you can also rig up a pressure gauge setup that goes in between the tank and injectors, I bought a replacement fuel line from tank to injector and cut into my old one with a gauge and release valve. mine was running shitty at 40 psi, replaced regulator and was running at over 60
EFI can be a real bitch if you cant bench test everything
