i had the same problem so i went to amazon hose and bought some high temp line that actually has strips of metal through it that doesnt allow it to kink. its a little hard to bend but it worked perfect for me. just go there and ask for just that. theyll hook you up and its only like 5-10bucks a foot

no damnit. not steel braided, if it meant steel braided i would have said it... steel braided will still kink. it looks like a normal high temp black silicone line but its got strips of metal through it. just do what i said and be done with it
