rip in my radiator hose
I got a radiator hose for a civic which is a little too small for the h23 and its now got a rip. I wont have time today to get a new one but i want to know if theres any way to patch it up. could i put tape over it temporarily?

13-17 PSI on that hose and the electrical tape is gone. don't bother with repair kits, just go buy a new one. have you ever seen the thickness of those hoses? they even have wire mesh kinda things to strengthen the hose.

There is a new type of repair that will work. I looks similar to electrical tape but its wide like duct tape. Its made specifically for radiator hoses and will last until yo can get another. Its made mostly for offroads trucks and buggies for when they are out in the middle of the desert and bust a hose. I saw it on Trucks
