The barbed plastic pieces in the oiler kit I recently got from the
Benzin fit too loosely for me to install in my 380sl . So I was
wondering if anyone has had this problem.

Thanks

The hose too loose or the fitting too loose? If the fitting too loose but
does fit in there, then wrap it with teflon tape.

Thetube fittings are fine, Tiger, but  barbed ends don't seem to grab
well enough to hold the tube in place??

Then I would cut back the rubber tube so there is fresh narrow tubing. I
always cut off existing section of tube where it was attached to existing
barb... provided there is enough length left.

Or 1/2 of the existing tube if length is tight... or replace if not possible
at all. Just splice it.
