Exactly. Ain't worth the risk, never mind the cost of a fix that probably won't work. Jim, we've had to replace more than one over the years, if that's any consolation. Cut it up and trash it.

Geez, you guys just love getting your wallet out for new stuff!

Jim,

This is absolutely worth repairing for short money, then you'll have a spare. If done with the PROPER sized fittings for the size hose you have it will be good as new. If it is cooked near the end just shorten it a bit, again with the PROPER fitting.

Your not dealing with an old dryrotted hose, which should be replaced, yours is new.

I'm sure your NAPA dealer can do it. If I had the number off the side of the hose I could tell what Aeroquip brand fitting would work, I'm looking at the catalog in my bookshelf as I write.
