little tubing caps that you buy off the =E2=80=9CHELP=E2=80=9D rack in =
the auto parts stores... not using =E2=80=98real=E2=80=99 heater hose... =
so Pat, you answered my query... I=E2=80=99ll cut a short piece of =
heater hose... real thick heater hose and plug it... then install it... =

Heater hose should last longer than a few years, so put a stub of hose =
on the fitting & plug the hose.=20

shop content... it keeps the lights on in my shop when it=E2=80=99s =
