Hi Bob,

I think it's the same stuff you are talking about, I used Earls Pro
Lite 350 nylon braided hose for both the water and oil lines.  It
worked great.  I started with the intention of using stainless braided
hose, but after installing a couple of ends on that stuff creating
hundreds of puncture wounds, the nylon braid sounded promising. :)

My intention was to replace the hose every couple of years, and reuse
the expensive AN fittings.
