I just replaced my fuel lines in my engine compartment. I have a Spyder with a type I. They were getting pretty dry.
Now I'm in need to replace my oil lines. They're 7 years old. Currently they are Parker 7212 jiffy hose push on 1/2"ID. This hose is rated at 300psi and 212 degree max working temp. I was surprised at the temp rating. Since our cars can reach that temp easily. Should I be concerned with this? It's worked so far without a failure.
I do have a chunk of a similar rated hose that I had ordered when I installed my thermostat. If this hose is adequate, then I could order another chunk of it and redo my oil lines. If not, I'd have to order about 13' at twice the price for an upgraded hose with a higher temp range.
BTW, my fittings are the Fragola push lok AN8 fittings. I currently have hose clamps on them too, just in case. I've read somewhere that, with our startup pressures, a hose can pop off of the push lok fittings especially being the age they are. I might go with a different type of clamp. I'm not a fan of the typical screw hose clamp.
What say you?
