Quick Fuel Filter question...

What size, type, and length will I need to replace the fuel filter hoses? I'm just going to cut them off instead of trying to reuse the 20 year old hoses that are on there now. Thanks!

Car is a 86 GXL.

I think i bought five feet of standard fuel hose from NAPA. Been a couple years since i did the same thing. Since you're going to replace it I would just remove all of it, plug the solid line and measure it up to make sure.

I believe it's 5/16". Make certain you get fuel injection hose.

I would, but unfortunately I have to drive the same car down to the parts store. Just easier to ask.
