Ron, I think the hose is 8mm or 5/16. Not trying to give you a hard time by guessing, but I want to warn you about that formed plastic piece. That part was leaking on mine, not the fuel line. You may want to consider buying one of those, and only crawling under there one time. Make sure you by the fuel injection hose, regular fuel line will not hold up. Hope this helps. Good luck, Doug '86 GL Westy Maryland
