Years ago, I tried using a generic plastic tubing from the local parts 
store.  I put it on in cold WX, and it leaked at the ends.  I used some
small clamps, and that stopped the leaks.  Then when the hot WX came, 
I found that the tubing colapsed.  I replaced it with VW supplied 
tubing which had a firmer wall.

IMO, you could use rubber injector return type hose, but you 
wouldn't see the bubbles when things are waxed up in cold WX.
