QUICK! What is the fuel hose size at the fuel filter? - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

My car is in the shop getting the AC fixed, so I can't run out and measure...

Can someone tell me what the diameter of the fuel line is by the fuel filter? I'm trying to get everything ready to install my fuel pressure gauge, and i need to build a T-connector, what size hardware do I need? I'm on a super tight deadline (long story), but I need to get the parts today so that I can get it installed as soon as I get the car back tomorrow.

Thanks in advance ppl!

3/8" does the trick.

IIRC, the stock size is 5/16" - A whopping 1/16" different from 3/8", but...

meh.. you should be tightening them down with hose clamps anyway...
AAAND.. Kragen didn't have 5/16ths...

ok, so officially the size is 5/16", but the slightly larger 6/16" (3/8") will work fine? Just verifying.
