i'll be replacing the rubber fuel lines on my engine soon, and i need to know what type to buy. the local flaps all carry three standard sizes (1/4" 3/8" and 5/8" or something like that), but no metric. i figure "while i'm in there" i might as well put all new lines in.
so what size is appropriate? i don't want to get something that's "almost" right. the engine is stock 1.8 fuel injected. thanks. ~a |

I've been using "marine" quality f.i. hoses for years. They have a much higher "burn-thru" rating than anything you'll find at your local flaps. But - you'll need larger clamps... works great, lasts long time. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smilie_pokal.gif)

AA try the VW shop up by the Fred Meyers just off the I5 in Vancouver, or if you are coming this way stop in at Baxters on the east side of the I5 next to Elmers Pancake House in Portland.
