We had done our own testing in the shop here and pressurized the hoses up to 175 psi for over 6 hours and we could not duplicate the failure. After taking some of the hoses apart we have discover that we might be getting some miss-matched parts between the socket and the nipple. which could be the cause of failure.

Also we have sent a couple of samples hoses to third party for further inspection, this company specialized in testing and certifying hydraulic hoses for the aerospace industry.

Mean while, we will not be shipping any oil cooler hoses from our current supplier. Not only that, we have completely switch supplier and all our hoses and fitting will be supplied by setrab themselves, so the whole oil cooler kit and it components comes from one supplier.

For our customer that are waiting on oil lines, we should be seeing those line sometime next week. Now for the customers that had already installed our kit and have no problem at this point but like to switch the oil lines for their peace of mind, we will be more then happy to do so at no cost to you .

We truly apologize for any inconvenience we may caused .
