[DML] Re: Clear Cooling Hoses

["content22207" <brobertson@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

PVC will melt at cooling system temps (up to 260-280 degrees).

Plus water pump barbs are larger than 1.25".

Plus you'd have to insert springs to keep it from kinking around the
bends.

Overall it's a bad idea.

If you need 1.25" heater hose, NAPA sells commercial grade bulk rolls.
