Included with my kit was a piece of 3/4 heater hose with a 90 degree bend in it. It is a NAPA part #9816. Does heater hose hold up in an application like this?
Thanks in advance!
Thanks in advance!
I depends on the quality of the rubber. Heater hose is typically not rated for contact with oil. I used heater hose and within 6 months it was weeping the oil through and the exterior of the hose was getting a light coating of oil. Replaced with oil rated hose and now all good.

This is the reason I asked the question. I looked up the spec on the NAPA website and it appears to just be regular heater hose. I am planning to use a hose rated for this application. Thanks again!
