Fuel Hardline Diameter?

Grappler · 10-14-2010, 05:57 AM

Looking to get some adapters to go from my hardlines to -6 an (currently ghetto rigged with clamps)

is the Hardline 3/8ths or 5/16ths?

Something like this correct?

It's actually metric like 8.0mm or 8.5mm?
It's close enough to 5/16" SAE...

Hmm, so using 3/8" ID rubber hose is incorrect?

On stock hard fuel lines?
No, they offer 5/16" size - it's a pretty typical size if you can't believe it.
Make sure it's FUEL INJECTION rated.

Alright thanks RETed I will double check and make sure about the pressure ratings

5/16" ID and about 6' will get you from hard line to fuel rail, and fuel filter to fuel rail.

I would recommend hard lines over the engine. If you use hose, make sure and tie it fast to something so it doesn't rub and wear through.

The first link is what I would use. Thanks for bringing this up, I need one of these too. The second link wouldn't work for you, 3/8 is too large.
