Can Fuel Line Hose be used as AT Oil Cooler Hose?
The guy at the PartSource (equivalent to Autozone type place in the US) told me that they sell the regular fuel line hose all the time for tranny oil hose. So he sold me a piece because they didn't have the SAEJ189 anymore.

Is it safe to use this stuff? Note that this is not the injector hose, just standard fuel line hose.

DO NOT USE IT.
ATF will eat through the regular fuel line very quickly.

So ATF is more of a corrosive solvent than gasoline?

Are you sure, I don't think thats true. I can't remember, I think I bought the kit when doing my tranny cooler.
