    <font size="2"><font face="Courier 10 Pitch">I contacted Gates and
        they recommended Gates P/N 85947 (16RLAX25FT).  It is available
        from NAPA, but I had to get it from the local distribution
        center, the stores in the area don't seem to stock hydraulic
        hose.  I also checked with a shop that sells Parker hoses and
        was told that Parker no longer recommends any of their hoses for
        gasoline.<br>
        <br>
        I've not had much luck getting  nice straight even cuts with
        hose cutters.  Ended up slipping the hose over an aluminum rod
        chucked in the lathe and using a utility knife resting against
        the quick change tool post.  Used a center in the tail stock to
        keep the other end of the hose from flopping around.  Ran the
        lathe in reverse with the knife on top.  Cut easily.<br>

          My tri-carb balance tube is connected to the intake manifolds
          with short (1-3/4"), 1" inside diameter, rubber hoses.  I have
          been using Gates 24016, a coolant hose.  It's not for oil/fuel
          transfer applications.  Is there a better choice?<br>
