One more thought on hose...
Don't use Silicone hose. It's very susceptible to cuts and abrasion which will cause it
to quickly split through. You also need special lined clamps when using silicone hose
as standard worm screw clamps will slice into the hose, rendering it useless.
Others may disagree with me, but the tried and true industrial rubber hoses like Gates
Green Stripe (Napa yellow stripe and those from McMaster Carr or Grainger) are much more
durable and resistant to the kind of abuse, vibration, and possible abrasion they're
likely to encounter under your car and in the engine compartment.
YMMV,
Garth
