Re: fuel line hose size

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.

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.

Re: fuel line hose size

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