NO!!  Don t do that!  All the engine fittings should be steel for 
strength and fire resistance.   I only have 3 hoses in my entire engine 
compartment.  One is the flex hose from the firewall to the fuel pump, 
the other tow are to and from the oil cooler.   All the rest are 
Stainless steel lines.
