i have seen the clear radiator hose that people run on like trick banshee's and stuff, and you dye your coolant to match colors of your ride. Has anyone ever used this stuff? if so, does it work just as good as any other hose? it seems to me it wouldnt last as long and it would probably absorb the pigment out of the coolantand change the clear hose to whatever color the coolant is.

it shouldn't take the color.... coolant, well some, is already green. that would be awesome to use the normal 50/50 mix with clear tubes. don't know how long the tubes will last. if they were the right silicone or polyurethane, they would last, but not much others.

a food safe, tubing would probably work fine, just make sure it has a temp rating at least 300 degrees? would that be enough? Thats not a bad Idea.

the other you might have is kinks in the tubing... i have used some in the past and i love the premolded stuff much more!!

Clear hose is something Id love to have on the TriZ, just so you can easily tell when the impeller breaks and its not flowing!
