    In newer vehicles like the 2nd Gen Tacomas, are all hoses made of synthetic rubber, or are some made using natural rubber compounds? I ask because our favorite DIY undercoat chemical, Fluid Film, warns that it may cause natural rubber to swell, while stating it is completely safe to use on synthetic rubber.

    So far I've been unable to find answers in prior posts here or in other places.

    I realize this is probably a stupid question, so many thanks in advance for your patience and courtesy in posting a sincere and helpful reply.
