Where to buy charcoal canister vent lines

[flaconinja]

So I'm hooking up my charcoal canister back up and I need the paper and aluminum vent lines. I can't seem to find them anywhere. I check advanced auto, auto zone, ford dealership, and lowes.

Anybody have an idea where I might be able to get something that'd work?

Thinking of just running some rubber hose up from the canister. I would guess it doesn't matter what I use but I'm not sure.

Thanks
Ryan

I'm not 100% sure, I found what you are looking for at my local ABC auto parts store. The only problem was they only sold it in 2ft lengths. Not on a roll. If you find any leads I need some too..

Anything acceptable for fuel will work. Anything acceptable for crank case evac/PCV systems will also work (i.e. all intended to carry fuel or combustion byproduct gases).. . . which leaves you a bunch of "rubber hose" choices at the autoparts store. If you can't get it by the roll, on-line shops will have it.

Vacuum hose will also, but may not be the straight and narrow "right" way to go.

Thanks guys, I guess most people are ripping this stuff out not trying to put it back in. I'm probably going to do the rubber hose thing, like you said if it can take fuel a little vapor shouldn't be a problem.

I just entered that number into Napa's web site parts search, and it came up as not found.

From the picture on the F150 forum, it looks to be the right tubing. Just needs a quick shot of semi-flat black to make it exactly like the original.

Found what looks to be the same on a mustang site..

I got mine at local NAPA. Not sure of a part # but they can look it up.
