Redryan98 Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 Hi All. I'm finishing up a motor swap on my Obxt. Went to hook up the three fuel lines in the engine bay and found one cracked. For reference, line #2 in linked illustration http://opposedforces.com/parts/legacy/us_b13/type_7/intake_and_supply_system_turbocharger/fuel_piping/illustration_1/ Figured no big deal, went to autozone and bought fuel hose of the same diameter. Issue is that the ends of the fuel line I took off the car are two different sizes, so its not as easy as just getting some line from a parts store. I called the dealer and they said the line is no longer offered (when it was, it cost $31!). They are going to call Subaru tomorrow (apparently the company is closed today) to see if anything can be done but it doesnt sound like it Any suggestions? Guess I could get one from a junk yard but would prefer not to.Any stores or online retailers you know of that do custom hoses? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrTris Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 Gates fuel injection hose worked fine for me -- Any local NAPA should have it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrTris Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 You should need 5/16th hose, IIRC, and it will say "FOR FUEL INJECTION" on it in green letters; if it says "NOT.. " then don't take their word that it's "good enough" -- It's not. You need the proper FI hose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
