what to use for p/s return line?
i didn't know what forum this was most appropriate to ask in, though it could be a 'Safety" issue if it fails!
how much pressure does the return side see?
what can i use from the local auto parts store?
thanks.

It's low pressure. I also use the aeroquip pushlock hose.

Yes, low pressure. Any quality hose that's impervious to oil products will be fine.

It's low PSI. Note the factory weak clamps on low rated PSI hose. $3.00 for 20" of hose + 2 new clamps your done bro. I just bought some off the shelf at my local parts store tonight.
