    I bought hoses from TRF (where is their Winter Sale Flyer anyway).
It appeared the hoses, I'm assuming we're talking about the interior
hoses here, are curved too much to use normal straight heater hose. I
just figured, without any experimentation, that such would kink, so I went
for the preformed, prebent hoses.   Give it try to find out for sure.
