I have been wrestling with the fuel line debate lately. Too big or too small standard sized line? OG cloth braided? WTF?
Finally I discovered the properly rated hose in metric sizes and very close to what I need in size. I need 5.5mm; I have a '74 bus with dual solex--stock. I am now in possession of several meters of J30R9 5.6mm fuel line. Reasonably priced with shipping at $35 for 3 meters from the UK. I'll keep you posted on my experience.
I think I done good...what do you think?
