Hi I was hoping someone could chip in to clarify which hoses I should use for a couple of connections (I've found similar questions elsewhere on the forum but I'm still a little uncertain- apologies)... I've attached a crudely highlighted picture of the hoses in question- Green - Distributor to Carb. Yellow - Carb to Air Cleaner. Pink - Air Cleaner to Thermo thing on Cleaner nozzle. Blue - Fuel Breather from T pipe to Air Cleaner. I understand that standard run-of-the-mill vacuum hose is suitable for the Pink connection. Do I need fuel grade (and E10 suitable) hose for Blue, due to fuel vapours? What about Green and Yellow? And are these suitable for the job?

As you can see engine is a Type 1. It's a 1978. Thanks in advance
[ Cheers for the reply. So vacuum hose is OK for all four hoses I listed? This- https://www.alanhschofield.com/ourparts/prod_3136096-Vacuum-Hose-per-metre-N0203535.html ?
You may find if you use the braided rubber hose it splits and leaks because of the heat, nuffink to do with E10... Mine failed over by the top of the air cleaner. Silicone hose seems perfectly Ok .. fish tank air hose e.g.
