Maverik Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 I've got a RRC PAS resovoir and filter plumbed into my truck at the moment, but the hoses I used where salvaged old hose from another RR. the hose is a bit short and its starting to die/colapse. I've been search hi and low for some replacment hoseing. Its all low pressure side stuff, so its the main suction hose and the oil return hose from the box. I just want some unterminated hose. Can anyone reccomend some hydraulic oil resistant hose so I can sort it out? I've been to several local hydraulic shops and as soon as i say "power steering" they pretty much just switch off "sorry thats all expensive custom auto stuff" is the usual reply. I've noticed its not full on Hydraulic wire braid hose, more a fabric/rubber mix, like a silicone one but just a type of black rubber. I've thought about using silicone but unless it has really thick walls it will want to colapse when bent around a corner, also is flippin expensive. Any help would be appreciated.

zim Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 You're from Aberdeen ? Go to a boat shop, they'll have rubber hosing that you can use for low pressure. G Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maverik Posted February 4, 2011 Author Share Posted February 4, 2011 Zim, I'm just north of Aberdeen, I did have a brain wave, I recon heavy duty fuel line should do the job... You know any chandlers up here by any chance? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRecklessEngineer Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 Tell them it's for a hydraulic return line with next to nil pressure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maverik Posted February 10, 2011 Author Share Posted February 10, 2011 Right found a Chandler down south and now got some 16mm ID ISO fuel hose and its just perfect for using as the return line and suction lines on the PAS system! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
