280SEL 4.5 fuel line

[p.smitty]

I'm in the process of replacing all rubber fuel lines. Any suggestions on the fuel line brand and size?


Thanks

I used 5/16" (7.9mm) FI fuel hose from the local auto parts store.

I once used that. The type with the blue liner. Had to replace it after short while because of leaks. Much better to use the proper size. No leaks and the original clamps fit.
