    I need to replace the coiled brake bleeder hose on my chinese unit. Only lasted a few weeks. Any ideas on a chemical resistant hose.

  2. I use clear hose that I buy by the foot at my local Ace Hardware, when I bleed brakes.
    It doesn't seem to be affected by type 3 fluid.

    How much pressure are you using. That type of unit is only supposed to operate on 15 lbs max pressure.

    Curly Q is very annoying seems to hold bubbles. Maybe my imagination as the bleeding process stretches out :D
    I also use clear ace hardware hose, get extra. Lay it out flat and get some heat into it to relieve the curve from the roll.
