[urq] coolant hose question

I believe that there is an early and late coolant tank.
Do they take the same hoses?

I have found that couldn't be further from the truth.  They not only are too short but also have several wrong bends so they can't even be made to fit without making some sort of extension.  The overflow tank to rad hose is the only one that fit properly.
