Where exactly is the 3/8 hose?

Did that work?
Anyway, that's the fuel hose I've jammed on to for now (not that it does much at the moment, most of my brand new coolant is all over the ground), it goes from below the bleed screw to the intake manifold.
Maybe just a short term solution.

On what grounds?Maybe just a short term solution.
Getting the "correct" hose is no drama. I am just curious what the difference is, I can't seem to find a straight answer.
I've heard of fuel turning the incorrect hoses tacky, which I guess is fair enough. Is there a reason I can't use any given hose for coolant?
It says 10 bar on it, so I guess it has some kind of pressure rating.
I would think that coolant and fuel act differently to the types of rubber that are used. I used to smear any grease I had on the connections of the water hoses, until it was pointed out to me, that grease is a hydrocarbon and will make the coolant hose rubber deteriorate. I now use a food grade grease on all of the coolant system joints. The coolant will be at around 100 degrees, so that may cause the fuel hose to harden, maybe.

I just use a very thin layer of silicone on coolant hoses. Yeah, I reckon vaseline is probably better than normal grease.Originally Posted by mudnut

for coolant hoses the best grease i've used is lube, its water based so no damage to coolant hoses.
if its worth doin its worth over doin
lube? Where do you buy that from?
