Now to  my other question: I have a remote filter in my car. I replaced the 
oil lines  to the filter because they were old and cracked. The hose that I 
used for  replacement are large diameter fuel lines. The hose seems to be 
too soft; that  is, I have to tighten the worm clamps very tight to prevent 
leaks and the hose  gets very soft when I run the engine. I am thinking that 
I used the wrong hose  for the oil lines. At this time I am not looking for 
braided steel line. Does  anyone have a suggestion for better hose to use 
for the oil lines. I am  looking for hose that will not be too soft when hot 
and will make a tight seal  on the barb fittings on my engine.

For a Standard oil line, find a local distributor for Parker-Hannifin  
Hose. Look at Parker Push Lok 801 hose. They have a full line of hose in  any 
color, and appropriate fittings. Their internally braided hose doesn't even  
need a clamp when used with their fittings. The barb design is captured when 
the  hose is slid over it and will seal well past the pressure level an 
automotive  oil system. But you can add a clamp if you want! It is bulletproof 
stuff.
