You can...but why would you? Just purchase a section of transmission hose the length you need. It will last longer than fuel line.

No! It will not last long with the high heat and high pressure....ask for Trany cooler line. It should be labled on the hose for trans cooler use. Seems like a small thing...but a blown line will empty your trany in no time ....you dont want that!

I just learned that too.

Got a length of it ready to go in.

It does say Automatic Transmission on it.

AutoZone and Advance carry it as a transmission cooler installation kit even if they don't have it by the foot.
