If it is new (or old for that matter), does it have a stainless steel spring installed to prevent it from collapsing. If it's an older hose with a spring, could that spring now have disintegrated to the point that it is allowing the hose to collapse?

Just a thought from someone who has been there before.

Hi Bill:
Nope the top hose was replaced with the new tank, the bottom hose is not collapsing I checked that also.
