Hey Aaron,

Can you use paintball hose as an oil feed and or oil drain?

They seem like a much cheaper alternative, unless the diameter of the hose is too small? Its made to handle high pressure and liquid CO2, so I wouldnt think that oil would be a problem?

While it might be able to handle the pressure, it probably won't handle the temperature. Oil temps range from 0 to about 250 degrees. Under normal operation you can expect to see between 190 and 220 degrees.

Certainly won't work for an oil drain becasue it's WAY too small. Oil drain needs to be about 1/2".

For the oil drain most hoses rated to handle the heat and oil will work fine.

For the feed, use -4 braided stainlesss, or 1/4" hard tubing.
