Slip a screw-type hose clamp onto the hose, then slip
the fill port into the hose. The fill port will need to be

until the other end of the hose is secured by its clamp, and
the fill port is positioned properly against the FBH. (

Slide new heat-shrink clamps over the hoses, and attach
the hoses to the fittings. Make sure the hoses are not
distorted. Using a heat gun, heat the clamps until they
shrink tightly enough to secure the hoses. Try to twist the
hoses – you should not be able to turn them. (
