Tom63050 Posted June 9, 2005 Share Posted June 9, 2005 Yesterday the fuel line on my 91 Loyale, the clamp-on hose that connects the gas tank to the fuel pump, started leaking where it connects to the fuel pump. Went to the parts store to get a replacement. The largest they had was 3/8". That didn't fit. Looks like 7/16", or some metric size like 11mm or 12mm. This car is fuel injected, so it needs fuel line rated for higher pressure than carbed fuel line. Parts guy says 7/16 only comes in carbed rating, so I should try Sube dealer. Tried dealer, he's clueless. Any thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KStretch55 Posted June 9, 2005 Share Posted June 9, 2005 The line that takes fuel from the tank to the pump isn't pressurized. It is a suction line. Any good fuel line that will fit the nipple on the pump should do fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
