Anybody have a source for 9mm ID high pressure fuel line? Not interested in the vaccume style cloth covered fuel line. 30R9 or above would be ideal. Seems 3/8ths is the only option in my web searches. Thanks, Tod

Tangerine Racing is excellent and will steer you in the correct direction.
The problem with 3/8" hose on 9mm fitting, despite the close approximation in size, has more to do with the clamp. Typical OD on 3/8" is around 16.5mm. Try finding a standard FI clamp that accepts 3/8" but has enough range to get it tight over a smooth 9mm fitting. Makes a worm gear clamp tempting, but that defeats the point of the expensive hose. |

The smaller one will fit over 9.5mm 30R9 hose and provide a tighter clamping force on a loose fitting connection such as you describe. |
