Fuel/vacuum line size '82 GS1100GL..confused

[scaylabs]

Just this quick question, because I'm thoroughly confused:

The fiche says the vacuum line should be 4.5X8.5X600 (4.5mm ID, 8.5mm OD), and even though I can't find the fuel line on the fiche (at least not in the carb or tank page) I've seen mentioned several times that it should be 7mm (ID I assume).

But then on Bikecliff's excellent page (Where do these hoses go?) I see that on a GS850 the vacuum is 6mm and the fuel line is 8mm. Shouldn't it be the same on the 1100, or in any case larger fuel line on the bigger engine?

Thanks!

Anyone with a gs1100?

Fuel line is in the Fuel Tank page. Desc HOSE,7X10,2X200

I'm confused, too

I can't figure out where the OEM fuel line part number shows up on any of the carb or tank fiche/schematics.

So....where do you find it and what is the order number?

Thanks!!!

Hi,

This is what I found at partshark.com:

#74 HOSE (4.5X8.5X600) 09355-45855-600 (replaces 13683-45110)

#76 HOSE, FUEL (6.5X11.5X600) 09354-65113-600 (replaces 13683-49160)






Thank you for your indulgence,

Thanks!

Thanks, Clifford.

It's strange because it isn't listed on the schematics that I looked at. Even more odd, it's pictured as a vent tube and not a fuel line on the one you reference. (#77 is the fuel tee). Through the years, I've found lots of mistakes on those schematics.

Hi Mr. chuckycheese,

Yes, I'm assuming that the vent hose and fuel hose is the same size and it's all the same stuff. But you know what happens when I assume.

They are, Cliff, but you are also right that they call it a 'fuel line' in the listing (instead of both).

One time, I tried some of the clear, blue stuff and it leaked fuel at both ends. I then used it for my vent tubes....and it's down right pretty!
