Clear line replacement
Holla!
I was wondering what inside diameter are the clear fuel lines on a 1984 300sd are. I seem to have air leaks in the fuel system and wanted to replace all the lines with rubber hoses. Anyways, any help would be much appreciated. Thanks, Tony |

Those clear lines will crack and break before they start sucking air. Replace all of the braided cloth ones first and see if that makes a difference. Check all the hoses for wet spots. Tighten the spin on fuel filter a bit more or change out the crush washer.

Got some good answers here (although I agree with crash, probably not your air leak....mine leaked like crazy, it would be obvious)
clear fuel line Anyway, I just replaced mine with 5/16" rubber fuel line, leaving the clear nylon line on the barb. I'm guessing 1/4" is the diameter, since the the 5/16" snugly fits over it.

The barb is 1/4" but like stated before if you cut the nylon line off but leave what is on the barb you can use 5/16" which is what the rest of the fuel lines are.
I also agree that your air leak is probably not with those line, but it never hurts to make sure.
