I needed some huge ass fuel line (not a GS item) ... so I bought 5/8th dia heater hose from a auto parts shop ... looked very much like radiator hose really ... now will it hold up to gas anyone know.
Cool.

the pep boys in my area carries 5/8" ID fuel line, but it is not particularly cheap.  I'd think that radiator/heater core hose ought to hold up to gas, but I've never used it for a fuel line so I couldn't say for sure.

Radiator hose will hold up to gas just great ... they didn't have it in the 5/8th ... they had similar one in heater hose ...
Cool.

The distinction between heater hose and radiator hose isn't manifesting itself to me - you mean heater core hose?  I thought it was identical to radiator hose, i.e. both have to hold hot coolant under pressure...

can i have your job..... or your paycheck
did you get rid of the RS?

I would try it, if it is like radiator hose I would think it would be ok...

but you may be right in questioning wether it will hold up over time or not. A fire near your netheregions would not be good.
