    Nice, thanks. Any high-heat resistant properties to the rubber hose as opposesd to the vinyl?

          My 250 DX I have in my shop was developing leaks with the rubber hoses that came with the machine. When I purchased a replacement hose, I bought the vinyl hose instead of rubber and that cured the problem for me.
