I've tried that, maybe the hoses are longer these days?
I've had the lowest hose seated against the radiator as much as possible, and the higher hose as far as possible close to the engine block, with hose clamps not tightened down. Then tried to inserting the pipe. Insert one end of the pipe into one of the hoses as far as it will go. The other end of the pipe will not clear the other hose so it can be inserted into its end of the hose.
If using dish soap, will it keep the hose from bonding to the tube over an extended period, for instance 2-3 years?
