I was raised by hoseheads outside Detroit, Michigan and was warned when I was a kid not to mix Radiator and Gas Hoses.

Radiator hose will break down incredibly fast in a gasoline environment.? (Changing the fuel filter yearly- might - stave off breakdown particles.)

I hesitate to think of the fuel injector cleaner!

(Notice when at the parts shop that the Rad hose is $10.00 and the fuel hose $40.00, this should be your first big clue?)

By the way, here in South Florida ya can't buy these 20 year old hoses.

Any hose stories out thar?
