rubber hose question
Is there a special oil-resistant kinda rubber hose you should use for oil lines? I've got what's marked as "heater hose" and wondering if it would be ok for oil lines.

I believe there is hose marked "EMISSIONS" that is meant for gas/oil.

Weather head line. H10105 is 5/16. and H10106 is 3/8. H10108 is 1/2. This hose is good up to 300 psi. My local NAPA store has this in stock always.

Fuel line is the way to go. They are built around nitril tube (core), and are more resistant than heater hose, which has neoprene core. For the sake of overkill, go down to a farm supply and pick up hose for anhydrous ammonia. It will have at least 2 ply covering, and a huge working and burst pressure. Look for the Underwriters lab endorsement embossed on the hose. All those years at Swan hose taught me just enough to be dangerous,( and that I didn't like factory work)

The 1/2 inch diameter is the problem. Most auto parts stores dont carry trans/fuel/oil hose that large. My NAPA doesn't have it either. Fortunately, they referred me to a hydraulics outfit here in town by the name of Patco who does.
Took five phone calls, but NAPA was the first place to give me a good lead. Thanks NAPA.

Thats right, the tranny line is usually 3/8. I should have known that, I just bought a bunch so I can use my A/C condenser as a tranny cooler.
