    1/4" internal diameter, its somethign i need to do as i'm getting a very strong smell of fuel after i have driven the car but can't find exactly where its coming from, so hoping fuel lines will help.

    What i do want to do at some point is route them inside the car all the way back to the tank, but that will come when i'm back at uni and have some more time on my hands

    1/4 inch is massive! you sure thats from the jacking point to the engine? as the lines look like they are not much bigger than 5mm when they come round the engine!
