I think it was about 3/8 in. clear cheapo tubing, but I ended up whittling it down a bit so I could screw it into the bleed hole. Try 5/16 maybee. Has anyone simply stuck a bleed valve back instead of the bolt, since this bleeding problem is repetitious? They usually will take a small bore hose directly. Life could be easier then(or if I owned an air-cooled) NO, don't dump the coolant, DON'T!! At least get it to your favorite landfill site via the garbage collectors.
Plastic T's.... long discussion re those in rec.autos.tech, OK to use them for flushing, BUT don't leave them in place, they crumble/break up and dump all your coolant.
