John, Sorry for the mislead, looks like Gates no longer makes anything smaller than 9.5 mm. That AutoZone hose is the right size but I think it’s fuel line, I wouldn’t do that. VanCafe sells the silicone hose Dennis refers to at $13.50/meter. https://www.vancafe.com/N90097601SIL-p/443121107asil.htm

I would appreciate it if you would post the Gates Part Number for the hose you are using. I was able to find anything like what the stock hose is on the Gates website.

Subject: Re: Hose from pressure cap on expansion tank to coolant overflow tank Thank you, Dan. I went to the local AutoZone and O'Reilly's and neither store had anything close except for high-pressure fuel lines. That is why I posted to the list.
