From memory I'm pretty sure it's 8mm internal

Fuel lines are 8mm inside diameter (bore).

The big filler pipe "appears" to be approx 50mm bore.
The exact bore is not mentioned.

Part number is 90 299 858.
Prices appear to be about £22..

The only dimensions I can find is for the hose clips.
Epc says 50 to 70 mm clamp.
Ecat say 40 to 60 mm clamp.

Sorry that I cannot be more exact...

Its the large one on the side of the tank on a saloon. 8mm is way to small. Maybe 10 or 12mm id?

Just bumping this as I want to know what size the metal fuel lines are - I realise that the ID of the hoses are 8mm, so that means the OD of the lines must be 8mm, but what is the ID? or does it not matter?
