Fuel Line Question

Armycopter · 09-28-2019, 06:35 PM

Does anyone know the OD/ID of the fuel line that fits our petcock and carbs? I went to the part store but nothing looked right. Plus everything was reinforced for pressurized fuel systems.

Thanks

I used 3/16 ID. I had to go to a bike shop for it but I suppose any small engine repair shop should have it. Get a few feet you won’t regret it. Also those spring clamps to keep them tight. The outside of my line is marked Oregon if the manufacturer helps. I think it’s chainsaw fuel line.

Awesome, thank you

I use 3/16 standard braided fuel line as per megadan. I have about 45 ft, it's not high pressure. Should be able to get some locally, if not I can send you some.

I hit up the local lawn and garden section or tractor supply and grab a small coil of clear lawn and garden 3/16 fuel line and a small filter for mine. Works like a charm.

Otherwise, 5mm fuel line is also the correct size,

Thanks for the offer!! I can source this locally or off amazon I am sure. Just needed the correct ID to start with. Thanks again, that was really nice of you.
