fuel line size

[2wagons]

Hello, I saw a small puddle of gasoline under the back of the car and followed Typrus’ suggestion and examined the rubber connection hoses. ( thanks Typrus) Sure enough they leak and need to be replaced. Does anyone know the inner diameter? As I’ll probably get the replacement hoses at Autozone perhaps the closest usable SAE size?

The ones Checker pulled off the computer and grabbed me were a bit too big. Not as snug as stock. For best fit, I'd probably bring the hoses themselves in and have them examine them. Probably your best bet. Just remember that there are at least 2 different sizes... Main feed and return feed. Dunno if the one from the charcoal canister is any different though. Didn't pay attention to that to be honest.

If the ones at the tank are rotten, I'd recommend you do the ones in the engine bay as well. Just remember to keep the hoses as close to stock length as possible. More is better. The length is there for a reason, even if it looks like overkill.

You might as well replace the fuel lines that go to the fuel filter. They told me I had to bring a sample (Pep Boys) and the closest fit was SAE 30R9, 1/4", I.D. (6.35 mm). This is what I replaced them with. I installed them with fuel injection clamps, instead of the old butterfly ones. Now that I think about it, I should check those lines at the back since I haven't done so already.
