Replacing fuel Line

Post by ralphcap »

Have to replace fuel line from fuel filter. It is 27 inches in length. Is it a standard size (diameter) fuel line that can be purchased in any auto parts store? 1981 2000 FI Spider.

After a little research I believe it's 8mm ID.

Just make sure it's Fi hose as the fi pumps fuel around at 35-40 psi. Clamps are important as well,use the proper clamps, the "normal" hose clamps could pinch and cause problems in the future.
(normal is really just a setting on the dryer)

Thanks for the psi info. I'll change all the fuel lines when it turns cooler down here (early December).
