Hello all. I need to figure out what kind of rubber hoses are used in two locations: automatic transmission cooling lines ;and the bottom of the brake fluid reservoir?

They appear to be the same size, and Autozone has told me that I can use any generic hose on both. Just wanting to double check because I see some online that are rated for fuel also..

Thanks!

I believe fuel lines are a special rubber, where standard automotive EPDM hoses are not rated for fuel but do handle oil and coolant without issue.

Great thanks! Sounds like the fuel line rubber is overkill, but still safe to use if I'm understanding correctly.
