I spoke to a rep at UPR concerning the gas/oil odors and he did acknowledge that some people have complained about the smell but that the odors were caused during cold freezing temperatures and since I live in Arizona I shouldn't have an issue. I guess we will see and I can always go the gates route if I have to. Thanks again for your help.

Good luck, mine does it regardless of temperature, I also may go the Gates route and buy the fittings from UPR.

That's not at all accurate. Those Continental hoses stink year 'round, and I guarantee they'll stink for you. You can find this evidence in many forums around the 'net, and somehow UPR doesn't seem to want to admit it. Otherwise, I really like their product. I still deal with the hose smell in the garage with the Gates stuff, just at a much lesser degree. At least I can't smell it from feet away outside as I did with the Conti hoses.
