Search next time. Common questions like that have been asked a million times and can easily be found

Steve's site will also help a bunch for most things you could think to ask

Nice attitude. I answer your question, provide you with a helpful link, and suggest that you search next time before posting such a simple question, and you jump all over my **** and call me mr perfect. Nice.

And if you don't know the difference between a fuel line, coolantline, and a vacuum line it's pretty safe to say you shouldn't be touching your car.

Good luck with the rats nest there buddy. Her's some more free advice even though you feel like being an ******* about things. Try not to break too many solenoids while you're at it. They're pretty pricy and reall easy to snap. The one connected to the UIM in particular is one that most everyone breaks the first time they take it off.

Oops, I guess that disqualifies me from being mr perfect doesn't it.

You guys should take a chill pill and quit picking on the newb.

He can search for advice on vacuum hose all he wants, but all he'll get is bad advice from all the "experts". You don't need different sizes, you don't need adhesive, you don't need zip ties, you don't need "kits". You don't need to spend alot of money. A total waste of time.

All you need is duroblu and a pair of hose cutters from Sears. Its the BEST. It does not kink on tight radiuses, elastic enough so that it fits different size nipples, "grabby" enough so that it won't come off, and is made to military specifications. It will never cook or oxzidize. It will probably outlast every component on the car, the coming nuclear winter and cockroaches.

I wasn't "picking on the newb" Ron. OK, maybe just a little.

He wasn't asking what material to use, he asked the size he neeed, which even the "viton pimps" and the "dude get the neon incandescent purple/blue/yellow/green/insert gaudy color of choice hose from hosetechniques for twenty gagillion dollars" people should have given him the correct size for, and it could have easily been found in a search.

I'm not trying to be a *****, I'm just trying to be helpfull. Oh well.

If I ever have to do the vacuum job again I'll give the duroblu a shot (it has to be better than the crap I got from Baker precision). Fortunately, no rats nest=not having to do the hose job for awhile. Sves me on the screaming and cursing, cuts on my fingers, broken solenoids, and sharp stabbing pain in my back.
