The weber barbs are 8mm, 5/16" fuel hose works.
Not sure on the pump, I have a conversion. |

Had the orig. fuel pump serviced what to refresh the orig. lines. I recommend against using the cloth braided hose, what's available is total (IMG:style_emoticons/default/stromberg.gif) I use FI hose rated SAE J30R9 or higher and FI clamps, better safe than sorry. |

If you are talking tank to engine bay lines through tunnel, the SS lines provided by tangerine work fine, not sure of size. Not anything unusual.
Agree with Mark n hose type |

Thanks!
I'm looking for factory replacement as the car is bone stock w 80K miles. Been in my garage for over ten years. I want the original lines replaced. There is no need for high pressure F.I. lines. Using a stock pump that was recently service. It is my understanding the supply line from the tank is larger than the output line and the return line. I can't find 914-6 fuel diagrams anywere. This car is not on PET 5 that I can find. Thanks |

Thanks F.I. hose is more durable and all I will use,basic hose seems to degrade faster with modern fuel from personal experience,the price difference means nothing from a safety point of view,you have a valuble car besides. I bought quality fabric covered hose but won't fit it after reading issues with it,do use the F.I.clamps as mentioned ,worries me to see many people don't (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) . |
