[QUOTE="kevin j, post: 3892860, member: 20522"] If you do the flex braided line, it has to be suction rated. The mesh wire holds against outward pressure and the inner tube liner seals the fluid. In a vacuum situation, the inner tube needs to resist pulling inward. In theory, no suction. In reality, cold weather and high idle pump speed is high suction conditions. Black iron pipe fittings form the hardware store are fine for suction. Don't need the 3000 FS stuff. Pressure side, you need proper hydraulic fittings but suction side the issue is collapse of the walls, and not letting any air leaks. [/QUOTE]
