    My question is for AK Jim. Could you possibly tell me what i.d. size is that wonderful long fuel line that runs fore to aft that you replaced?
    Also, thank you for a most wonderful tutorial on the routing and methodology, and doing great down-field blocking on this one. Thank you ever so much. Jq.

    I used 5/16. I originally tried 3/8 but could not get it to fit through the body. I used Gates fuel line designed for fuel injection systems, not because of the pressure but because it holds up better to the strange gas we have these days.

    need a combination of 6, 8 & 10mm SAE J30 R-12 Ethanol-safe fuel hose. There's also some 5mm and 16mm fuel/vapor hose. Dave at SRI sells the 55x85mm filler hose for $138... also needed are 2 35x105mm houses between the tanks for $75/ea. Change your fuel filter while you're in there.

    If you do not specifically have ethanol safe fuel hose you should change it all now, or carry a big fire extinguisher.

    So did Ferrari use metric or imperial sized fuel hose?
