size of coolant extra tank tube

[wisemonkey]

What is size of tube that goes in extra coolant tank?
And do I simply look for it at Autozone?
I can try completely emptying the extra tank and see if it's fallen in there.

found it just in tank, it's quite loose. Let's see how long it stays

If you already know fitment is a problem, why would you reuse it? Having worked through overheating issues, I would be using ANY size replacement that fit properly. Having that tube submerged in overflow coolant is critical to sucking coolant back into the radiator instead of air.

If air gets sucked in, you're losing coolant volume from your radiator every time you run it (...and it expands to vent into the overflow).

yup filling it (radiator) for now with more coolant (I think it has been sucking air for a while).
Will get appointment for coolant replacement.

Flip the hose over, replacing the coolant is really easy why not do it yourself?

this is what I did (flipping) cause other side felt too loose.
I'll look up on replacing coolant as well
