I want to replace the rubber fuel line and clamps that feeds into my BA6 heater from the main fuel supply. Here's a picture of the area I'm talking about:
(Image stolen from GermanSupply.com)
I highlighted the rubber line in yellow and the two clamps in red. I read that I need a 5mm rubber line.
At GermanSupply I found 5.5mm high pressure reinforced rubber line and 5mm braided cloth line. I'm guessing I really need a 5mm high pressure rubber line.
Can anyone confirm the size and type of line I need?

I can't remember the size, but it does not need to be "high pressure" hose. It's prior to the fuel pump and is basically a gravity-flow to the tiny fuel pump for the BA6.
If I recall correctly, I just used "regular" hose that I had for my carbureted bus which I think is 5mm.

Thank you! I wasn't even thinking that it was behind the pump so it wouldn't be under high pressure.
