fuel line hose size
 
does anyone know what size the hoses are for the fuel lines in between the tank and the metal lines under the rear seat?

one ruptured today and need to replace it

if it's the ones that go above the fuel tank, make SURE you replace all 3 of them. one of mine ruptured and the other 2 were about to as well. they're only $60 each so it's not too horrible. i can't remember the size though.

5/16th if it's the one that went on mine a couple months back. Under the car, left hand side of the tank

but just think, you won't have to replace this part for say, another 20 years. :]

if we're talking about the same lines, find a cheap (price, not quality) mechanic... it's like a 6 hour job. the whole rear end needs to come off to get the gas tank off to reach the end of the lines, it's pretty serious.

good news: it is 5/16"
bad news, wasnt the hose, the metal fuel line cracked on the seat side, not the tank side
