i only use 1/4" fuel line for my vac hoses.. never had a problem with it, plus it doesn't degrade under high heat like i've had the thin rubber vacuum hose do.. it's a little more expensive the first time, but i've never had to replace it..

Use silicone instead of rubber- that should solve your problem

Go to your local truck dealer or repair shop and buy some push lock fittings and dot line that is your best bet at getting a great hose that will not collapse and will hold up just fine.Paintball guns use them also I think they are called macro fittings.
