I ordered some injector return line from an online supplier (it's a house in Arizona) and I just got rubber vacuum line which is cross listed as injector return line.
More Notes: from a parts place this info next to the Stock Fuel Return Line: Fuel Hose/Line; 3.2mm ID x 1.9mm;
According to this site: Convert inches to mm - Conversion of Measurement Units
1/8"= 0.125"=3.175mm
So 1/8" ID Hose is actually a little tighter than the 3.5mm stock Hose.
