Can I use fuel hose instead of radiator hose?

I need some 8mm ID hose to go from my thermostat to my expansion tank but the smallest radiator hose I've been able to find is 12.7mm. Would it be ok to use flexible fuel hose instead?

Cheers,

Pete

Can't see any reason why not, probably exceeds all the temp/pressure issues by a factor of 10





If you can keep you head, whilst all others around you are losing theirs, you are not fully aware of the situation

I'd suspect thats a reasonable assumption, but just for giggles you might check the websites of the suppliers, like Gates rubber, they should have acceptable temp ranges.
