Folks,

I can say that the clear fuel lines look like a real pain to replace. Of course, the one I cracked connects on top of the main fuel filter with a tri connection through the banjo fitting and the other end is cramped between the block and the IP.

I checked my old lines and they are marked DIN 73378. Can anyone tell me what standard that refers to? or does anyone have an SAE cross reference??

Since the end I cracked is right up next to the fuel filter, I am thinking of putting together two hose barbs with a union and just lengthening the hose that way so I don't have to monkey around between the block and IP.

Any thoughts??
