Hi Spider Owners. I'm working through replacements in my 76. My fuel lines in the trunk are looking bad and I'm having a lot of gas fumes back there. Can I replace the fuel lines in the trunk with standard autozone 5/16" fuel line?
Thanks once again for your help?

Re: Fuel Line Replacement
5/16" will work for the fuel supply line. The fuel return line is a bit smaller. You should replace ALL rubber sections of the supply, return, and vent lines.

Re: Fuel Line Replacement
I'm not familiar with the '76, but it may be similar to my '73. Three lines forward; 7/16" for supply and vent, 1/4" for return.
BTW, I'm in the process now of replacing all of my hard lines for brake and fuel using a copper-nickel product called Cunifer from Federal Hill Trading Co. The 3/16" stuff really bends easily, the 5/16, not so much. Will do a write-up once complete.
