OK I am being really lazy here. I want to check and see IF the local chain parts store has new fuel line so i can replace the rubber ones on TBB that can stand E-15 with no worries of the lines getting eaten.
That being said. I think it is 3/8 diameter but I may be wrong. It is a 440 factory car for those who are unaware.
So am I right 3/8 or is it 5/16?
Thanks
Kevin

Measure the inside diameter and then decide what out what you want to do I would probally replace it with 1/2 inch line and the pick up also, especially using E85

I misspoke. I mean to be able to use regular unleaded that has ethanol in it. I have seen a few guys get bit during storage. I will correct the post.
Sorry.
I meant E-15. I forgot that it is percentage of ethanol not percentage of gasoline.

If you use rubber use fuel injection hose.Its more but will stand up.Standard 440 should be 5/16s.I believe only Hemis and 6 packs got 3/8s.Rocky
