I DID look--our search, and Google. And now I've edited the subject line and mitigated my previous idiocy.

Would anyone know that the INNER DIAMETER of the 8mm fuel tank outlet opening is? When I change out Winston's fuel lines, to the metal Polyarmour and Gates Barricade, I want to change them all, and all the clamps. That will require the right size neoprene cork quickly applied.

Anybody know? Suggestions welcome, data adored.

Best!

You'll need some fuel line clamps to do the job anyway, so you could cover it temporarily with a piece of clamped line perhaps?

It's a thought, thanks, but I'd like to get everything set up just right and then QUICKLY slide it on. Cork'd pull out faster.

Best!

^^^^This.

Rob, you can yank off the piece of fuel line just as quick as the cork.... Very Happy
