I want to use the aeromotive socketless AQP hose for my fuel and for my transmission cooler lines. The kind that pushes on to the barbed fittings and is good to 250 psi. It runs about $4 a foot. Any reason not to do this?
It seams pretty durable on the outside, but I would probably run some heat shield sleeves in the engine bay area.
Just get a good name brand hose. I used the Summit hose once, and it stretched big time. I ran it along the framerail and it was nice and tight. once fuel hit the line (pump 93) it stretched a good 8-10" over the length of the car. I learned my lesson...
So they get stiff after the fact. I both like and dislike that. Stiff will make it rigid and I will use tie downs where ever possible. but stiff might also lead to cracking and seeping of fuel. I would like to use the teflon lined hose, but it is very stiff and I don't think I'd be any good at getting fitting to shove on to the stiff teflon.
I used blue parker push lok on my powerglides lines and in/out 2 coolers. Never had a problem with 5000 hard street miles. Getting the hose off of the fitting was impossible. Needs to be cut off with a razor. I liked it!
True Street back/back/back nitrous passes too... I bet it was hot.
I love the internet. Nothings for certain. I was hoping to use these for the oil feed to the turbos. I guess my fear of busting a line is a bit on the irrational side. Perhaps I will see leaks and have to re-run a line worse case?

^^^^^^^^THIS^^^^^^^^ I had Joel make me up a set and they are nice. My other lines were braided Aeroquip lines (not teflon lined) and they were starting to come apart from the inside out.
400 degrees is what it is rated at. However, when you look at pressure ratings, temp ratings, bend radius, etc, they are all based on a max of everything else. For example, If you were running your teflon line at 3000psi, at full bend radius, it would be rated at 400 degrees. If you were running at 400 degrees at full bend, you would be rated at 3000psi working.
I pulled apart a car that was built in 2003 with the pushlok deals with the blue hose. And every line was cracked and dry rotted. Also stiff as a board like others claimed
dont' bother with it on oil lines i had two of them burst within one week
never again
