It is 5/16 inch or 7.9 mm.  I have recently learned that there is a
difference between standard fuel line and that for fuel injection.  The
latter is high pressure (electronic fuel pumps for FI put out 80 plus psi).
I just bought some today for the price of $4.49 A FOOT!

I did use regular fuel line when I replaced the fuel filter recently and
haven't had any problem yet, but it was a pretty short piece of hose.  I
will go back and replace it with the correct hose in the near future just to
be on the safe side.
