Ben Seabrook 4 Posted February 25, 2010 Report Share Posted February 25, 2010 what size hose do you need matey ? have just ordered a load of silicone stuff from ebay for my charger and the smaller diameter stuff isn't too expensive at all Link to post Share on other sites
Antihero1981 8 Posted February 25, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2010 hey dude , looking for 19mm and 12mm....how much you order?i am after about 5 metres of each size Link to post Share on other sites
FishWick 21 Posted February 25, 2010 Report Share Posted February 25, 2010 You can't use silicon hose anyway, unless it's the special stuff that is chemically treated to handle oil and antifreeze.Regular rubber "heater hose" will do the job and it's cheap! Link to post Share on other sites
Ben Seabrook 4 Posted February 25, 2010 Report Share Posted February 25, 2010 for that quantity I wouldn't order the silicone because it is pretty expensive ! I was going to order some of this for mine http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/19mm-Stainless-Steel-Braided-Fuel-Oil-Hose-3m_W0QQitemZ290331405604QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM?hash=item439919ad24 Link to post Share on other sites

FishWick 21 Posted February 26, 2010 Report Share Posted February 26, 2010 only 80c max temp ' date=' was thinking of something with more resistance...[/quote']Blimey, are you thinking of cooling a furnace? :-)The max temp you'll ever get chargecooler water to is about 40 deg C. If it gets any hotter than that, the Chargecooler isn't doing it's job. Link to post Share on other sites
