Making up some dosing containers for my GHL doser 2

Drilled small hole for air intake as liquid is pumped out.

I deal with these day in and day out. They can be a bear getting the hose out of the connector. Not something you would want to use to remove a line all the time. I have had to cut the line and replace the connector too many times.
