A RUBBER HOSE what like 5/8 heater hose ??? wrong advice there . try your local LPG shop and buy a length of hydrocarbon proof hose / vapour line . heater hose is not suitable for petrol use or even vent use . dont mix up your hose's rubber aint rubber .Originally Posted by detox_nath83

yes i used heater hose as an example of a " RUBBER HOSE "
being a breather hose does matter as the fuel vapour can still effect the hose if its not of the right grade or construction for the job , years of converting cars to LPG and repairing cars seen incorrect use of hose's so many times which leads to failure of engines transmission diffs power steering pumps and racks etc etc .
strgas the plastic line that was in my car is that factory ??? .

plastic is factory cheap to produce goes hard after years thou and becomes rather brittle easy to break recommend replacing with hydrocarbon proof hose , if your plastic hose is in ok condition you can cut it in the middle and extend it with a piece of metal pipe

thats fair enough man,
but anything that will not deteriorate will be sufficient thus using fuel hose.
i know that all hoses are different as in oil safe/fuel safe/pressure rating, etc etc
not using trans hose for a fuel line etc.
rang holden this morning and there stil sell the breather hose cost a whopping $3.85
