fuel lines
i need to replace rubber fuel line on my 82. going to get fresh filter too. question. is there a meaningful difference in hose diameter? one vendor sells an 8mm hose but another vendor says ONLY use the 7.5mm fiat originally supplied. does it make that much a difference? thanks in advance

Re: fuel lines
Using online conversion calculations shows
7.5 mm = 0.29527"
8.0 mm = 0.31496"
So there 8mm ID hose is about 0.020 larger that the 7.5 mm hose. Personally I have been using an 8 mm hose for all the FI lines on my FI Spiders with no issues.
