What kind of hose does everyone use, regular braided hose or teflon lined?

This doesn't seem like an application where Teflon would normally be used, but thought I would ask.

Teflon would be my choice, if you can use it without kinking it
I've use the braided black vito lined Fragola hose and fittings also for the pickup side That hose is easier to use and make, except for getting it pushed on all the way on the fittings Boiling water is your friend for assembling them

Talk with Chuck over at Best - he makes some real nice hoses for the suction side - they also put a coil spring inside the line to prevent collapse

I'll be following this post closely. I will have my 572 completed shortly and while its on the stand I will shoemaker a couple of lines on it so I can test prime the oiling system before I glue the intake manifold on. Then I will have to bolt the engine in my Duster to finish the oiling system as its a little tight with the heads-up rules. I like those lines from Chuck. That looks like a nice set-up. I won't chance making my own lines for this one as I like the security of crimped lines.

Same here. Fragola on almost all of my stuff. As Cab Burge said "I've use the braided black vito lined Fragola hose and fittings also for the pickup side".

I also added some heat wrap due to how close mine come to the #1 tube due to modifying it for the rack & steering shaft

Okay, thx for replies. Synthetic rubber/viton lined is acceptable, then.

I think I could probably use the teflon since it's a pretty straight shot in my application, but it seems more difficult to work with.

Will go with the regular stuff for now and see how I like it.

Thanks again.

I've always just used the normal braided steel hose. Nothing special and never had any issues w/ it.

Steel braided here. Teflon will work too. It's easy to put ends on.

I use steel braided. Examine your fittings to see if the one giong into the pan is too
Long creating a restriction. I had to trim mine quite a bit.

These days I only use the Aeroquip StartLite hose. Much easier to work with than steel braided and is more flexible. Should be fine in that application and easy to build. Cut it to length and screw on the fittings.

I have braided line with GOOD fittings.
Might want to check vibrant line the -6 has a higher PSI rating then most others I would guess the -12 would be the same .

Standard steel braided on mine. Going on year 7.

I used a rigid tube..

All steel now,but when it comes time to start replacing I'm thinking the cotton braid to save more weight

Regular braided is fine for that application.
Only thing we used Teflon on is fuel since we run alcohol. That being said we have used regular braided for alcohol fuel lines also. Just feel better about the Teflon in that situation now.

here is my single line set-up looped up and over never had a priming problem

15+ years using std braided hosing in that application with no issues.

For those running a Milodon system with the external adjustable relief. Anyone have a starting point as to how many turns to initially set it at? Thanks.

I know my stock pump without adjustable valve primed up at over 100 psi. I'd probably put 1 turn from flush on it and prime it with a drill. You don't need to be running the engine with an unknown oil pressure.

What he said, I've swapped my oiling system between engines and had to adjust accordingly. KB and Indy blocks oil pathways, clearance differences etc will likely mean a change in pressure so each engine will indicate different pressures. I use the same electric drill and set the pressure at 60psi on the stand and we're good to go.
