I believe it's 7mm but 5/16ths works. The only stock fuel lines on my Valk are the ones running from the T to the carb banks.

My notes say it's 8mm or 3/8. Pingle uses 5/16.
Now I wonder which is correct ?

8mm is between 5/16ths (20/64ths) and 21/64ths whereas 10mm is 13/32nds, 1/32 bigger than 3/8ths.

Thanks everybody. I found another hint in the form of the Purolator F10024 inline fuel filter that I've read is one commonly used. Its inlet/outlet is .31 inches. 5/16ths = .3125 http://www.purolatorautofilters.net/resources/Popup/Pages/PartDetailPopup.aspx?partnum=F10024 |

I believe the original fuel line is 8mm.. So when installing an in-line filter I just force fit a 3/8" unit..

I've found a 5/16ths is a tight fit also. The stock fuel lines have thinner walls than the ones you get at the parts store. Marty |

And here's another reason we prefer to do our own work... I called the service dept at the dealership where I trade and they told me 1/4".
