Just gotta wonder what the fuck is up with the engineer that designed this part. Did they have an IQ of 85, were they drunk or were they high? Here's the contraption they have that broke.
The piece had a split at the seam so I threw a Dorman one in. The issue isn't the outlets with clamps but the one at the top with the clip. There's an adapter there. That adapter has an O-ring that seals. There's a pre-made hose with another o-ringed connector in it. You can see the piece of molded on plastic GM uses in leiu of a real clamp.
So far I've had:
-The adapter leak. I replaced the o-ring
-The adapter still leaked
-The hose leaked where it connected into the adapter. Replaced the hose
-When I replaced the hose the line pulled off the connector with barely any effort. Certainly not anything I'd trust to seal. I cut the plastic piece off and put a real clamp on it.
Was a fucking hose barb or even a 1/8 NPT port too much to ask for on this? Why the hell would they even think this was a good idea? I have some ABS Slurry from my 3D printing stuff. Am I wrong to think I should just make this thing into a single piece with some ABS glue/goo?
