had it on my '93 900T convertible, and while the engine was running, that hose felt like mush. In fact, since there was no strength to it due to the degradation from the oil vapors, it used to collapse on itself and cause a whistling sound.
Rubber is also not a viable option (such as windshield washer hose) for the same reason. Oil and its vapors will secrete out of the rubber compund, and degrade it as well (tried that on my '98 9K).
The best hose to use is one meant for oil/emissions/fuel. I bit the bullet and bought 2' of it from the dealer (not that expensive), since the small hose is an oddball size to find in that type of compound at an auto parts store.
