I carry two hosez because I can and I might want to use both hoses at once. I might even want to run the black hose down a sewer outlet or push it down a rat hole. I might, if the need arises, use it to transfer fuel. I could sure use it to pour oil into some hapless guys v10 who though he could get a oil can in there, and I'm sure it'll pour antifreeze into a radiator or be cut up as emergency tie downs.
Really we have three hoses because I carry whatever the good brand of collapsing hose is, 150ft of it, on one of those cheap orange plastic extension cord reels. Used once, it was a good thing we had it.
I've been known to pull a hunk of jerky off a coyote killed cow carcass that's been sitting out for a year so it's not fear for me, it's preparedness and utility(and I'm unconvinced how a cheap backflow valve without pressure on it would stop fumes.)
I'll use two hoses.
There is no sense, nor practicality to using just one hose except in an emergency.
(one is none, two is one. Some of us live by that)
There's something called
False economy.
I think it means using just one hose.
And
This is sitting in the mod box. It will permanently install between the generator and rear wheel of the 24.1. No more hose to drag out and unroll and cuss and re-store. A slight pull and it rewinds itself. 65 feet or three feet, it won't care....
