Where to find metric fuel hose?

[Fiatlanta]

Replacing all the fuel lines in engine compartment and having a hard time finding metric locally. I've found 5mm, 7mm, and 11mm in there and am hesitant to use SAE sized hose.

I've used 5/16" fuel hose for 20+ years without problems.

I used this 7.5 mm hose for mine and was really pleased with the outcome, including the ability to retain the Bosch collar locks when I reassembled my FI system.

If you're in the midst of ordering a lot of parts, Midwest-bayless sells all original style and size metric hoses, as well as cavis hose for the clear lines. Fits great and looks good.

5/16" hose is almost identical to 8mm.

For which lines? I found a little 5mm and a little 11mm...And a lot of 7mm...

Many local parts stores in the Tampa Bay area carry the metric fuel lines in bulk as do most European car dealerships. I can usually locate them at a vendor along the route of my daily commute so it takes a few phone calls in the evening and then a 10 minute stop on the way home from work the next day to aquire them.

I was wondering about that...there's got to be a source for people driving Hondas and Volkswagons, right?

Try a BMW dealer. I was able to get 7 mm I.D. brake hose from them.

I don't think there are any 7mm fuel hoses on the Spider, maybe yours have shrunk with age? Should be 8mm. Anyways, I used 5/16", which is 7.9mm. Fits perfectly. Of course we also carry 8mm FI fuel hose in our store.

After remeasuring, I think you're right. Gonna have to pick up some 5/16. Thanks!

where to find metric fuel line ?. Well the post is a few days old, but as i have been restoring my 79 spyder 2000 i needed metric fuel lines too
so what popped into my mind cuz i also ride motorcycles ( japaneese )Is head to your local mototcycle dealer. They carry it for sure, and you can be sure its gasoline compatible as well as available in black or clear or even blue.sold by the foot....hope this helps, and if you dont live near any dealers try online such as bike bandit, jp cycles or dennis kirk Jimbo

Only real problem with 5/16" is it's annoying to see fractions and base 12 units when the rest of the car uses a logical measurement system!
