My return was just a regular high pressure hose; nothing special as far as I 
know.  My local dealer (Fairfax Auto Parts) sold me the same thing, by the 
foot, in black.  Since you are using new fittings for the pressure side, you 
might want to keep a close eye on them at first.  The hose TT had found at 
Advance looked identical and hooked up seemingly a perfect fit, but it 
leaked.  Maybe it was just my unit, but on very close inspection the geometry 
of the fitting was slightly different and although we spent a little time 
trying to grind it to fit, gave up on it.  I hope your new fitting does not 
have that problem.
