dump valve silicon blue hose, can i used it elswhere?
hi i bought a big old length of the silicone hose for the dump valve (you know the small hose that connects to the top most of the times) ca i use thise hose elsewhere, like over the left hand side of the egine where the smaller pipes are? (im a noob at engine so im not sure what parts i mean) but if the pipe looks the same size etc is it safe?
Cheers J. |
also its pretty strong pipe, blue colour. :)
|
yes,if it the really small stuff then its only vacuum pipe.
|
the ones on the left are radiator hoses mate of the expansion tasnk so dont use it on them as they get a bit warm and on mine they are braided
|
okay so if its not braided and fits it should be ok? :) just i have a big lenght of it left like 4 3 meteres of it, thought what cn i do with it to spruce the engine bay up? lol
|
oh btw yer i know what you mean by the radiator pipe things, i wont do them with this, its to small anyway :)
|
you can replace all/most of the vacuum pipe with it.
|
It will be fine for vacuum pipes as said. Beware aware that some vacuum pipe will have a 'restrictor pill' in them IIRC, so make sure thats transferred
|
You can use it all over, replacing like for like; BUT, as mentioned don't use it to replace any of the coolant pipes to the header tank.
I replaced the washer pipes with silicon pipe. ;) |
Go nuts with it mate. I did:
