Karl,

I know they convey mostly air, but the crankcase is vented into the intake
system so I think it would be wise to determine if any hose you plan to
substitute is rated for gas and oil.  Although, the SBR coolant hose of which
I am familiar is oil and grease resistant, I do not know if it can tolerate
gasoline.
