The hose in the link is standard 7mm fuel hose. It should do all the hoses except the vacuum hose to the petcock which I think is 5 or 6mm.
PICS are GONE never TO return.

Had the exact same happen to me. From what I can tell, the little metal clips abraded the hose over time and that combined with aging rubber and being pulled on slightly as I pulled the tank up lead to a rip and a giant fuel stain on the ground.

I bought some 8mm (5/16") hose. Nothing fancy - it's known as SAEJ30R6. I used a hairdryer for about 30 seconds on the petcock ends of the hoses, and that let them go on really nice and easy. The other ends just slipped onto the tank nipples cold. I also didn't use any metal clips, and just made sure the hoses were all the way on the nipple - the barbs on the nipples create all the seal you need and there's no way the hose is coming off without your say-so.
