[Tigers] Oil pressure line question

[H2Otor at aol.com]

My black oil gauge line broke on the car when I bumped it with a  wrench. 
Line was really brittle after 100,000 miles and 25 years old.  I  purchased a 
replacement white oil line kit from Sunbeam Specialties years ago  and it 
had compression fitting on the plastic line not slip on fittings.  Don't 
laugh, but I used  a box of black RITZ (sp ?) Dye and mixed it  in a quart fruit 
jar of water and placed the line in the dye and dyed the  plastic oil line 
black. I had both ends of the plastic line sealed and left it  in the dye 
for several weeks during the winter time and I placed the fruit  jar of dye on 
the gas furnace near the chimney so every time the furnace  came on it 
would heat up the dye.  I don't know if they sell the same  plastic line or not 
but the line is still dark black.
