Boost gauge vacum hose?

[gswOwner]

What size is the hose from fuel presure solenoid? This is where I'm gonna split my gauge on just wondering what size vacum hose to get for the gauge?

Thanks guys

I used tubing for a fish aquarium. What ever size that is.

I would assume to try and keep the sizes the same? And also is the barbed tee I need a specific size?

Thanks

pretty sure the it is 1/8" tubing.

Just see what size it takes to fit the back of your gauge.

I guess my concern is buying the right barbed tee?

So the hose to the guage doesn't have to be same size?

As the stock hose... nope.

That's too elastic to give an accurate reading, and isn't fuel vapor resistant.

Use gauge tubing from an auto parts store. There's one across the street from Wal*Mart.

It's just what came with my gauge. Looks exactly like aquarium tubing. It isn't any stiffer. I even compared it side by side to some I had laying around. I understand that it isn't resistant to fuel vapors, but being slightly elastic shouldn't affect anything, should it? There's still 15psi in it whether it's 1/8" or swelled to 3/16". Surely the tubing can handle more than 15psi.

When you say gauge tubing, do you mean the hard nylon tubing or something else?
