I have an 85 w123tdt. I need to change that little piece of fuel hose that runs from the primary (in-line) fuel filter to the lift pump. Anyone know what size hose this is? Does it need to be special heat resistant hose as it is so close to the engine or will any hose do?

Thanks

Peter

No you cannot use any hose it has to be fuel hose.
Cut off a sample and take it to your local auto parts store.
Or take the whole thing with you, whatever.

I know I need to use fuel hose I was just wondering if there is "special" MB high temp, flame resistant, bulletproof hose that I need to use.

Peter

the factory stuff is a bit pricey but will last 20 years a lot of the time.

I swapped mine out the other day with a piece of 5/16" fuel hose. Works like a champ.
