From the fuel filler neck to the expansion tank on a '73. Local NAPA had 1/8 (too small) and 3/16 (seemed a little loose). Since it's not under pressure the 3/16 might not leak but I would order the correct metric size from Pelican if anyone knows what it is. I have researched the limited books I have and didn't find any referances.
Thanks Dan |

1/8” is just over 3mm, 3/16” is about 4.5mm, so must be 4mm.

Use a heat gun and a sharp pencil to expand the 1/8 to fit.

Thanks guys, was just trying to avoid walking down to the barn to get the bailing wire. Will try the ATF, might do the trick.
