Default Need to make airtight 2x50' long 1.5" diameter vacuum hoses for siphon

What I need is some way to join the two vacuum hoses with an
airtight fit. The contraption I'm using works fine for vacuuming,
but, it won't siphon (due to small leaks somewhere I guess).

If the 2 hose end fittings are leak free, you could just tape the 2 ends
together with plumbers tape - you know, like 2 or 4 inch wide heavy duty
electrical tape.
