[DML] Re: Clear Cooling Hoses



Matt - When I first developed the engine self-bleeder system back in 
1994, I used some of this reinforced clear vinyl tubing (5/16" ID) 
in order to see what was really going on.  It lasted for a short 
while (100 miles?), and then started to fail from high temperatures 
and pressures.  It eventually blew apart at 70 mph on I-90, just 
east of Seattle.  Green blood everywhere.  Bottom line - use it at 
your own risk.  They may have come up with better stuff in the last 
10 years, but I'm not sure that I want to spend the resources to 
find out.  Let us know what you decide to do.
