Default Easy Question - Fuel lines from and to pump...

Folks,

A real easy question. What is the sizes for the two fuel lines from the metal fuel lines to the pump? Some previous owner replaced them and both are two large. Dry rot and the clamp points is causing a leak.

Thanks as always for the help.

Unless I'm wrong, they should be 5/16"(the larger one) and 1/4" for the smaller one. :yesnod:

Awesome. Off to the parts store... For some reason, I seem to think it is important to fix the fuel leak before driving. Unlike, the weatherstripping which I keep putting off since it is drivable. :jester

THANKS!

I ended order a set of molded ones because of the bends it looked like stock store parts line kinked a little causing restriction. Think ZIP has the set for like $12.

:iagree: I ordered the same kit; IIRC, the 'S' line is 1/2" and the return line is 3/8ths. The kit is the way to go, IMO.
