Hi,

I have my fuel tank out to be redone. When I re-install it I'll also replace the filler neck and the sending unit (including a brass float). I'd also like to replace the three sections of rubber fuel line i.e. the section from the fuel tank metal feed pipe to the metal line and the rubber sections on both sides of the fuel pump.

Prior posts commented on ensuring the lines where ethanol resistant and suggesting getting the line at local auto parts store.

My question is can you tell me what diameter hose should be used for best results. Thanks !
 
Just bring a bit of existing rubber to a good shop and match it to fuel injection line (better ethanol resistance).
 
5/16 from the tank to the pump.
1/4 from the pump to the carbs.
 
Gates now makes special ethanol resistant gas hoses. I can't remember what they are called but I believe they have green lettering. You will most likely have to specifically ask for the Gates ethanol resistant hoses at the car parts place.
Regards,
Bob
