In the process of re-doing vacuum lines on my 1.8L Ljet. The vacuum line that has given me trouble before is the 22mm (blue in picture) which I cobbled together with less than desirable results.
I'm toying with the idea of using a hose from most scuba setups, the BCD corrugated inflator hose. It is rubber of some type, the ID diameter appears to be very similar, and I like the idea that it looks very flexible so it can be routed to look somewhat stock vs what I had before. Question is, what is this made out of, and how will it hold up? |

I seriously doubt that it will be resistant to petroleum products to the degree needed given the intended and designed for use case. What's wrong with the stock hose? Is it no longer available?
