Hey there I recently installed an m7 oil catch can in my r53... The hose is kind of old and beat up, so im looking to get some new lines for it. What I know is that the existing hose is a 3/8" XL fuel hose by Gates. Ive found this online and its pretty cheap to buy...BUT. I would like to buy some 3/8" hose in RED instead of the black which I have now. Does anyone know where I can find this? Thanks a lot! Ill also need a 1/2" to 3/8" reducer. Who would sell these? pep boys didnt have these, but perhaps a marine store? Thanks for your time!
:cornut: If you do find it, please post here as a lot of us like Bling/eye candy also.:drool:lol::lol: Jason
I THINK I may have... 6 Feet 3/8" Ruby Red Fuel Hose « Vintage Parts from VintagePartsUSA.com seems cheap too. I hope this is the stuff. Looks reinforced just like the lines I have now. Anyone agree?
The pressure is not an issue. As an alternative to your internet quest, I'd suggest paying a visit to most any auto parts store. They should be able to provide you with heater hose in red. It's worth looking in to.... Best'a luck!
Ive seen plenty of red translucent silicone hose. but wouldn't silicone be a poor choice for oil? Thanks again!
:cornut: I would think that Si based hose would be much more resistant to petrochemical degradation than Rubber based hose. Jason
