I need to replace the diesel fill hose which is routed behind cabinetry and
wanted to ask the list for some suggestions for pulling the new hose. [I

You're only going to get one shot if you tape it. If the tape comes loose,
you're cooked.
Get a barb coupling to attach old and new. Here's one for $4.

Thank you all for the suggestions. Using a coupler is a great idea, and have
sourced one locally from HD, at an exorbitant price, $10. None of the local
Lowes, WM or marine stores had any in stock and this project will be attempted
tomorrow, so no time for shipping.

I'd highly recommend trying to leave the new hose either out in the sun or
use a heat gun to get it as playable as you can without exceeding the rated
temperature
You can use soap and water on the exterior but doesn't usually help as much
and contra to what the heat will help with.

I am looking for feedback on dual output controllers.
I want to add a battery bank to my existing setup, but I have a single
controller now. It’s a Renogy Rover 20A and has worked fine; however, they

I put in a Morningstar Sunsaver Duo

I have the same (?) setup.
Morning Star has a MPPT version, as well. Mine is the old style (it is over 10
yo).
I like the remote (wired) monitor. It also has temperature probe option, which
might be useful for some.
One issue with my monitor is that one of the buttons stopped working (almost).
A hold ball with a string (and a shopvac) is also a good option

What kind of batteries. I operate 4 100/30 Victon controllers with 10 panels.
2 feed a start / house bank of 5 group 21 100 amp start/ house batts. 2 feed a
bank of 2x 200ah lithium batteries that are dedicated to refer and 5cf chest

Works well.
