    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Fuel line size.

Any reliable way to measure my fuel line size? I just stuck a ruler up to it and it looks like 1/4". Definitely not 3/8's or 5/16's. But if I'm measuring it the wrong way, I suppose that wouldn't matter. I'm tryin' to measure for a new fuel filter.

Thanks.
 
Re: Fuel line size.

The fuel line is 5/16" inside diameter and your vacuum line is 1/4" inside diameter.

That's weird. When I measured the line myself, and it already has a fuel filter on it so I'm pretty sure it was the right one, it was only 1/4". Is it possible that someone changed them out?
 
Sure, its possible. In a pinch, I have put a 1/4" line on a 5/16 fitting........it isnt easy though. :-)

Cool. But if I'm measuring the fuel line correctly, with an outside diameter of 1/4"'s, shouldn't I get the 1/4" size?

Or just get the 5/16" and force it if it's wrong?
 
its a rubber hose, all rubber hoses are marked for inside dimensions, outside dimensions are for hardline such as tubing and pipe such as the fuel valve you wanna attach to would be measured as 5/16 OD as the pipe off the valve is 5/16 OD therefor you would need a 5/16 id hose to squish over over.
