How much heater hose do I need??

I want to get heater hose from hosetechniques and I'm wondering what size(s) and how many feet I will need. Also, the same question for fuel hoses if anyone knows. Thanks.

5/16 inch hose. Make sure the fuel hose is for "fuel injection." What are you going to replace? If you're doing it all then get about 6 feet of each. Won't hurt to have some left over.

My car has 210,000kms on it, with a rebuild very recently. The engine bay looks very bad compared to the body though(new paint). So I am in the process of polishing all aluminum under the hood, getting a silicon hose kit, and replacing any other hoses I can while I'm at it! All heater hose is the same size?

well all of the small lins are 5/16, but the larger hoses running into the cabin are much bigger. I'm not sure of the sizes of the other hoses.
