fuel pipe diameter

can anyone tel me the O/D of a series 3 fuel pipe that runs from the tank to the filter? also what dia is the return, i am going to move my fuel tank so i don't keep hitting it on the ground i cant find either my micrometer or my vernier callipers (i think i have lent them to a mate) so i cant measure them

BUMP please i need to get the hose to fit over the top tomorow as i start the job tomorow night

Is yours SWB? Do you mean filler not filter? If it is I might just have one kicking about in my mums garden somewhere.

I believe he is talking about the actual fuel line that runs from the tank to the fuel filter. Is it 5/8ths?

I'm not even sure if there is a 5 in the fraction, but that sounds about right.

i was completely wrong its plastic pipe......... so no need to cut it and put hose over it, jobs done bar 4 M10 nuts to finnish securing the tank to the rear tub (moved it to behind the rear bulkhead)
