The spec is the 7X3. It used to be 8mm. My guess is they wanted to make the connections so though that clamps are not even needed. They succeeded. The proper hose is a very tight fit and it almost has to cut off.

When I Google that part number you gave for the fuel line, I find a Russian site that lists it as 7x3 mm. So why are so many people using 8 mm or 5/16? That's what some of the online vendors are selling as well. Dennis, do you have any more info on the other hose listed for fuel filter and hose on other side of firewall? Part number?
