Leak off pipe for veg?

[AD Ent]

I replaced the leak off pipes last year, but now I've got another leak. Fairly sure its the leak offs again as its all over floor under the front . I am using veg oil with a bit of petrol to thin it down a bit when its been colder .
So can I use this PVC tube ? If so which diameter 3mm or 4mm?

I have a spare 'bung' from the last time I did it. So it is worth a look, I'll have to whip the IC off to get a good look but I didn't want to then see that they all need doing and not have the correct pipe. ah well.

i used some of that red pipe, it didn't last long, it just went brittle and started to leak everywhere

IIRC the 'standard' size of leak off pipes is 3.2mm ID, they are a tight fit. So I reckon 3mm should do it, with a cup of boiling water to soften the ends.

Fixed this last night. The last time I did it 2 spring clips were missing but the general feeling on here is that they are not needed so I push fitted the new hose in place. On inspection last night that was where the leak was coming from this time. So although the leak offs are not under much pressure there is a reason why Nissan put the clips their as the others were fine and dry.
