Fuel line question

Post by Some Guy with a BMW »

I can't seem to find the part # on realoem:

Does anyone know the size of the longish rubber fuel lines that connect to the metal under car lines and come up from below the brake booster - 8x13mm or 6x11mm?

Thanks,
Chris

Does more common (in N.America) 1/2" work?

No, but 5/16" does. Just make sure it's Fuel Injection rated, the default seems to be the old low pressure line for carbs.
