    I believe 8mm. However thats pointless, because 99% of auto parts stores dont stock metric hoses, only gay american standard ones. Find one of similar size, and be on your way.

      I believe that it is 8mm, but I'm not exactly sure. I am running 3/8 (9.5mm) and it is a little big for the oem fittings, but does work just fine. 3/8 high pressure hose was easier to find on a Sunday afternoon and later found out it was about $1.50/ft cheaper.
      Don't forget the good things Hitler did.

            Ehhehe... got it all installed... who'd have thunk it would run alot smother when it was getting the proper supply of gas, instead of having it leak out the tube and evaporate :oops:
