Default Fuel hose ok for coolant hose?

I put my tb back in today. I some how ended up wrecking the coolant hose on the drivers side of the tb. I put in some fuel hose to replace it. Will the fuel hose work as good as the coolant hose? I would think so. Just checking though.

I believe the fuel hoses are a tad better, as they tend to be more expensive. So you should be good...

understandable. i run all the smaller coolant lines on my import with fuel hose. Seems to hold up a little better.

Hmmm, I used the fuel hose for my TB bypass about 6 years ago. Recently had a small leak by the connection. Replaced it with more fuel hose but noticed the hose had gotten real brittle. Just keep an eye out for leaks I guess.

Have no clue as to if its okay or not but i would imagine coolant hose will be rated to take the high heat where fuel hose may not like the high temp. And then obviously, fuel line will be made to endure gasoline inside where coolant hose will probably deteriorate if over time if you used it for fuel. Google search time...
