Narrative:
While performing right and left engine compressor washes; left one of the short hoses that connect the spray nozzle rails together. Hose was left on the top right upper engine cowl. To the best of my knowledge; all of the equipment for the compressor wash kit was in the box. The rails and hoses were put away as soon as it was removed from the engine. If the storage box for the equipment was shadowed might help in identifying any missing parts.
