does anyone know the spec of hose i should use for LHM fluid?
it's for the un-prerssurised feed of LHM into a brake master cylinder (on a tractor).
just hoping someone with a citroen, roller or similar knows the material to use and if possible where i can get it from, think the bore is about 4mm
Cheers
Brian

some of the hydraulic brakes on bicycles use lhm fluid for operation, so i'd have a look on chain reaction cycles site for cheap hose 1st ;D

Anything oil-resistant, AFAIK - it's just mineral oil with some additives. Think Automotive might be able to help?

Exactly that Mr Revillug, just mineral oil. So fuel hose will work  |

Cheers fella's
so Nitrile hose; listed as suitable for diesel, unleaded petrol and oil would do the job?

I've had a piece of FI grade fuel hose on the low pressure return side of the pressure regulator on my DS for some years now, seems to be fine. I must say however that there are people who believe it will deteriorate over time, most heard comment is "Drop some LHM on a car tyre and see what it does to the rubber" and I must say, car tires don't really like LHM, but then again, a fuel hose aint a car tyre  |
