Replacing coolant hose from TB to upper rad. hose?
A coolant line running from the TB to upper radiator hose has sprung a small leak, and I need to replace it. It looks to be about a 3/8" hose, possibly smaller. This is on a 96 GSR motor.
Should I get a replacement hose from Acura, or what type of hose should I use from a parts or hardware store? Would I need fuel hose, or heater hose, etc?

Here is a link to various water hoses on the 96 GSR:

It's up to you where you want to pick up the hose. I usually prefer to go to Honda/Acura for the hoses, as they are exact fit (with the right bends) and usually are not very expensive.

That is so damn confusing to look at 
For under $10, I'll just swing by the dealer

Is it true that I can just use 3/8" fuel hose to replace the ripped coolant hose?
At least, as a temporary fix?
