Inventing such a thing is a great benefit.

Hopefully I`ll have a chance to finalize this hose-fix this weekend. (Who knows it for real whether the fail maybe has something to do (also) with excessive vibration in the shaft area or not: the hose decayed both outside and from inside as well. It probably leaked well before but I didn`t notice it.) I did see some shiny fluid stuff there and back but I thought that was the remains of the diff pignion seal leak that got cured.
Thanks for keeping the gas-pusher.
There`s not much messing around `cause I have a pump and I love it!
