what they had to replace them. I was told that folks have been using vacuum
hose. I questioned the composition of this hose and was told that it was the
same as fuel line. The only difference between vacuum and fuel line is that
fuel line has braided reinforcement. Does that sound correct to you? I
dont want to put it on, only to have one disolve and dump fuel on a hot
exhaust manual! (I was once told that heater hose was the same composition
as
fuel line and used it on an external oil cooler only to have it blow in a bit
over a day. Luckily the shop paid to rebuild the engine.)
Thanks,

Pat,
I used vacuum hose and it hasn't dissolved. Has been on several years with no
problem. I have little tiny clamps on each one also.
