As the following msg suggests there are numerous ways to stow the dump
hose. Sirum's has a nice technique. They installed a 21' length of
schedule 40 along the left frame rail and heat-bent the aft end with an
approx 135 degree bend as it exits near the top of the bumper. The dump
hose, permanenty connected to the pump is simply showed, end first down
the schedule 40.
