I believe they use 5mm hose.

150 is slot of amps I'd prob been at 120
No the hose itself.
Big thanks to ebailey95 for the dimensions. That is a fun project. I haven't put the top piece on yet and have to figure out a cap first. The long side with the bends was a bi***. I cut out a piece and scribed them with my angle grinder and bend by hand over the end of the work bench. Came out pretty good, I have to trim about 1/8" off the top though. .100 5000 series aluminum sucks to bend by hand . Glad it wasn't a 6000 series or I would still be trying.
It pressure tested to 67 PSI before our pump failed I'm confident in saying its water tight.
Its good it dont leak now. But it might develop over time though. Ive seen tanks fail after a year and its a minor leak but just saying for next time bring them closer together and not only will it be slight better it will look alot better aswell. And get them edges too and have a smooth corner
Which would mean the tank can't really be pressurized if there is a drip hose
I mean i guess it is oressureized but nothing aluminum couldnt take.
The only "pressure" there will ever be in an overflow tank of this design is the weight of the coolant inside of it. The drain tube drips only because the coolant is being displaced by trapped air in the system, or more coolant. AND even if the coolant reservoir WERE to be sealed and pressurized, you're telling me the aluminum tank is going to burst before any of the hoses?
