    Fuel hose diameter?

    I need to replace the hoses on my Accumulator, and I need to know what diameter hose and type of clamps I should pick up. I already have a new Accumulator, I just need the hoses.

    Thanks!

    Hi Brandon,

    Here is what I got:

    Feed:
    An 18 inch length of 5/16" fuel injection hose. (Gates Barricade 4219BF, part # RBR 27340 at CarQuest Auto Parts ). I think you need 17".
    2 fuel injection clamps size 13 - 15 (part # BK-705-1226 at NAPA Auto Parts)

    Return:
    An 18 inch length of 1/4" fuel injection hose. (Gates Barricade 4219BF, part # RBR 27339 at CarQuest Auto Parts ) I think you need 15".
    2 fuel injection clamps size 11 - 13 (part # BK-705-1225 at NAPA Auto Parts)

    Apparently the return hose doesn't need to be high pressure rated, but I figured it couldn't hurt, plus the hoses and clamps will match.

    Total cost $21.00

    I have yet to install my new fuel accumulator.

    Thanks, gentlemen. For some reason that thread didn't come up in a search.
