So I have a dumb question, but as my wife (who is a teacher) always says, the only dumb question is the question not asked so here goes..
I recently replaced the fuel lines in my 71 with stainless and new braided hose in the engine compartment. My question is, the lines that I purchased from Pelican, the smaller ones, which I believe would be the return lines, would not fit over any of the fittings so I just used the larger line. Does it matter if I use the larger braided hose for both supply and return? Thank you in advance for being patient and providing answers to my questions.. |

Depending on year, it's either 2 same size lines (8mm I think) or an 8mm and 10mm. The fittings on the gas tank will match as well as the filter and fuel pump so not exactly an easy solution.
