Message	Whenever I need a fuel line, I try to find some OEM through a vendor. I cannot speak to the quality aspects; other than meeting the SAE standard. However, most of the hoses I find locally (Autozone, etc.) are not sized metric. And while the difference between an 8mm. FI hose and the english 5/16ths equivalent is only about .006"; that can sometimes make a difference in how easy a hose fits onto a barbed fitting, or over flared tube. _________________________________________________
