Hose Question

[brandontyler65]

ok so I have a 2003 Hyundai that I am changing the hoses on. I have one question there are two lines that run from the block to the throttle body and they are $15 a piece. they look to be about 5/16" or 3/8" so I have some EFI Fuel line that is good to 50 PSI can i just use that cause the hoses look just like bulk hose. i am not worried about pressure just if the coolant mixture will react with the hose.

Could you post pictures? If they're that small I can't see them being coolant hoses. Vacuum or PCV maybe?

Molded hoses from the dealer can be outrageous, as you have found out.
Your fuel line will be fine, and is actually overbuilt.
Make sure you don't kink the line. Make it long enough to not have a sharp bend, or even loop it if you have to.

nope, i wish i had pics but its really like a tiny set of heater hoses to the throttle body they clearly are coolant because of their connection to the thermostat housing and block. yay efi line it is i love saving a bit o money so it can just get spent someplace else.
