    I'm not a handy guy and was going to get my friend to help me. I am buying the items and it looks like the hose clamps doesn't come with the 3/8inch fuel line, so I wanted to make sure I got one that works, it says it's 13-19mm. Can you please check my parts? Are there better catch cans to get? Any recommendations? Thank you!

    There's a link to the "mother of all oil catch can threads" in my signature, at the top of my signature. Here's a direct link to it:

    Oil Catch Can, Eliminate that knock! | PriusChat

    The typical install is to use 3/8" ID fuel hose (say SAE-J30R7 or SAE-J30R6), cut the original PCV hose at the middle, leave the ends connected, push on 3/8" barb splicers (or PEX splicers, which are easier for pulling apart later). and run the fuel hose down to an oil catch can with 3/8" OD barbed spigots.

    Cutting the orig hose and still using it for the end connections is good because there's a lot of stuff right next to where the hose connects at intake manifold, and the hose does a flare out from ~3/8" ID to ~3/4" ID, at the intake manifold end.

    I've read (on a local-to-me hose supply website), that hose clamps, especially screw style band clamps, are NOT necessary with hoses pushed onto properly fitting barb connectors.

    I'm using Moroso 85474 can (two actually, long story) in series. It's good, very solid, but pricey. I've mounted them on a slotted angle bracket attached to the cross-beam below the intake manifold. Lot of people have mounted up higher, in the corner just behind driver's side headlight.

    My setup, off the car:
