Replacing hoses on charcoal canister?

Hey guys, so the hoses on my '86's evap canister seem to have collapsed on themselves! They've been deteriorating for years now on the outside, I guess it was just a matter of time before they failed.

So does anyone know the size I need?

And is regular vacuum hose fine? These are the hoses that run from the engine all the way to the canister; it's not the line that's hooked up to the fuel tank vent.

Thanks!

fuel hose,

fuel vapors travel in them

take old ones to store they will get you the size you need, you just need to know the lengths you need, they sell hose by the foot

this isnt rocket science :P

good luck
