What`s this setup for? Does it have to be like that for some reason
?
I can`t figure out the reason why I have all those (6) clamps holding together all those short pieces of hoses; instead of having a single connection with a clamp or two. I might change this when I find the proper 1/2 I.D. DIESEL fuel line sold somewhere..
The hose section that rested on the crossbar deteriorated thanks to chafing on the support bracket, I guess. Luckily I saw it that day letting out a few drops but after 60miles of driving it leaked a very substantial amount, constantly. Slowly leaking when engine was not running, but ~~ a Liter of Diesel in minutes of idling!
Back to my original question:
how long can the heater hose stay there safely? 
and: why several shorter hoses instead of one connection? Any good use of that? (bleeding, priming, etc)
Isn`t it the spot for a fuel pump on the gassers btw? idk...
