    Fuel Line ID

    Looking for this fuel line in RealOEM. It seems to be a little bigger diameter then the line that goes to the FPR.

      Nando, you are right. 8mm fuel line. get the higher quality stuff. the cheap stuff i have seen slip open after a year.

      also into the fuel rail and out of the fuel rail are the same diameter hose.
      Much wow

          5/16" fuel injection rated hose is easier to find than 8mm hose and is an acceptable substitute.
          The car makes it possible, but the driver makes it happen.

            ^ Indeed. That's what I usually use. Make SURE it says "fuel injection" though.
