Hey,
is anyone able to tell me if you can use the aeroquip push on hoses and fittings on dry sump systems??? or are they not reliable enough???

They're all good to use, but I don't think you'll be using push fittings on the pressure side of the pump.

Those fittings are designed to be used on the pressure side, with the correct hose it's rated to 250psi.

I stand corrected!

What are you building?

Its a supercharged duratec in the making...

What are you planning to do in terms of pump?

I'm looking to get a dry sump pump soon but they're expensive!

Group buy might bring down costs. Best price I've got so far is £430 for a geared pump from titan
