The best thing to do is to buy the correct shaped hoses for the supply and return. Due to bends that are needed, using bulk off of a roll can possible cause teh hose to kink or get sucked shut. The hoses are cheap...so to speak....but well worth it. I believe they are 3/8"I.D. for the supply and 1/4" I.D. for the return. Buying teh correct hoses makes it a snap...if not you will mess with it for a while....been there...done that many times.

Buy the correct "S" shaped hoses so they don't kink.

I did not know that they made a formed rubber hose for this application.

I was ready to go to the part store and purchase stock tubing.
