substitute 3/8 400 psi transmission line for 10mm fuel line?
What do you guys think? The 3/8 line is ~ .015 smaller in diameter than the 10MM...pretty close in my book. Any one of you do this? Thoughts / opinions?

We don't have 10mm fuel line. We have 7.3mm ID fuel line.TrollFromDownBelow wrote:What do you guys think? The 3/8 line is ~ .015 smaller in diameter than the 10MM...pretty close in my book. Any one of you do this? Thoughts / opinions?
Please do not substitute. Over time, a smaller fuel line WILL split. Get the top-drawer Choline FI fuel hose available at your finer German dealerships or German Supply etc.

I'm talking about the line between the fuel pump and the filter....thought it was 10mm ID per ratwell's site...no?

ATF line, good pressure resistance, check.

Scott at Germansupply has that exact hose, if you don't mind waiting, then emailing, then waiting, and that probably getting it.
