Re: [DML] Clear Cooling Hoses

I think these two paragraphs from the site pretty much are two good reasons
NOT to use this hose.

"Gasoline and oils will harden PVC over periods of intermittent use. The
hardening process will be greatly reduced under continuous use applications.

NYLOBRADE HP (High Pressure) sizes 3/8" I.D. and up have a tighter braid
pattern and, therefore, reduce the visual flow contact and increase the
hose's resistance to bending & flexing."

MAX operating temp 175 F

above 175 F you will end up with chewing gum.
