the coloured silicone can be quite expensive if you want it oil fuel specific i just used normal silicone hose as the ones on my car were near enough 14 year old so figured its gotta be better if it perishes in a few years then il just replace chances are the hose will probably outlast the car now  :grin:

oil fuel specific
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Blue-Silicone-Hose-Fuel-Oil-1-Metre-19mm-/330578233299?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item4cf7ff87d3

standard silicone

hmmmmmmmmmmmmm £17.71 per metre as opposed to £7.61, i know which 1 il be gettin  :laugh:
+1 I bet the cheaper stuff will be fine.

It will soak up the oil vapour and the pipe will eventually collapse or split. The hoses you are replacing aren't flouro lined either which is why they split

some would beg to differ with that, but I don't run one and have never had any problems

I've just fitted my catch can today. Plus binned of the hockey puck. My tip came with it pre-blocked so I left it this way

Catch can still goes into tip.  Just by a breather that was blocked off. So I binned the hockey puck. Seamed like an unnecessary thing to have.
