brake lines

Post by j-top paj »

i tore the rear brake line on my bike this arvo and im wondering if i can replace it with fuel line? or is it a special type or rubber hose?
its not pressurised or anything its just gravity fed from the reservoir to the cylender conected to the lever.
it was just a quick fix as i tore the line and the fuel hose from by boat tank was sitting right in front of me. it seemed to work ok so far but im wondering if the brake fluid will "eat" away at the hose or anything?

get brake line as brake fluid is extremly corosive to the nitrile liner on most fuel hose.(you also need to have a rated brake hose for roadworthyness)
