Hey guys, I'm just wondering if anyone knows what the size of the stock rubber and solid fuel lines are? I want to go buy some fittings for a little bit of "customisation" of the fuel system, but I won't have access to the car for another week or so, making measuring them a tad difficult :/

G'day Ben,
don't have the size, I can check in the morning for you. But just a word of warning when replacing fuel hose, make very, very sure it is specifically fuel hose and not just rubber otherwise running in a turbo (read hot) environment you can end up with an insurance claim quickly. Some hose I was supplied supposedly as fuel hose...wasn't and it weeped fuel through the pores of the rubber. Not trying to tell you to suck eggs but be careful
cheers David

All good mate, I'm not that silly! lol

I've got a few rolls of fuel hose kicking around in the shed atm. I'd just like to have the surge tank and new pump assembly all wired up and plumbed up before I go to the workshop next so I can just slip it straight in the boot and be done with it.

If you can find out the sizes for me, I'd be most appreciative :-)
