I was told by a service rep that it will, if not properly protected wear right through engine mounts, spars and any things it contacts. I solved this problem on my airplane by applying spiral electrical wrap to the hose wherever it contacts anything (I had routing it under my spar..) my friend siliconed rubber hose over his. -the Sacramento Sky Ranch sells two types of braided Teflon cored hose that they say are equivalent to aeroquip 666. One with a flexible core and one with a solid core. make sure to specify which one you want before you order. Scott
