Vapor Canister replacement hoses?
My hoses are rotting out on my vapor canister and I was wondering what kind of hoses and what sizes I should use.

I just replaced those about two weeks ago. I went to a hardware store and just got some rubber hoses. It doesn't really matter what kind of hoses they are. I'm not sure what size they are, just cut a piece of your old hose off and take it into the store with you and compare.

Hardware store hose isn't the best idea. It's not designed to withstand fuel vapors and will deterioriate quickly. You need to use fuel or PCV/emissions hose.
