Radiator overflow rubber tube size?

[Angry Possum]

Does anyone know the correct size and length of the radiator overflow rubber tube hose that goes from the radiator to the overflow tank. Mine is leaking. It's a 4.0 OHV. 93 Ranger XLT-SC. The Inside or Outside Diameter would help. Thanks

its soft line so its measure internally. hard lines are measured on the outside, soft is inside. take yours to the local auto parts place and show them what you need. it comes in foot long lengths so maybe you need two feet, or maybe three feet? you just have to take yours in to the desk and ask them. you don't need fuel injection rated either, just regular old rubber hose

I just put a clamp on the end of the overflow hose that's closest to the radiator, no more leak. I really didn't think I needed a hose clamp. Anyways, it was a $2 fix. I'm stoked.

i always end up having to put a clamp on those lines. i don't know why some manufacturers don't put one. all my european cars always had small clamps on those lines and i never had a problem with them leaking

Yeah the clamp worked awesome. Now I have a lower radiator hose leak..
