Default What size are the brake/fuel/return lines?

I need to replace them all. My fuel line is dripping when under pressure so while I'm at it I am changing everything over to Nicopp nickel-copper alloy tubing so they will never rust again.

I think the fuel line is 3/8 (10mm), can anyone confirm?

Its kind of surprising there isn't a brake/fuel line replacement write up in the FAQ?? All info is appreciated!

whick fuel line are you talking about? are you refering to the line that attaches to the fuel rail? if so, your correct its 10mm

you could be a first todo a write up on it in this fourm if you did, my 94 accord could use new brake lines aswell haha, but abs has to comeout first..ugly looking thing lol

best of luck man!

I noticed you have some miles on your accord, almost 250k myself! I am talking about the whole hard fuel line from the tank forward, as well as the brake lines and return fuel line while I'm at it. They salt like crazy here in the winter, and they are all rusting. The fuel line was just the first to spring a leak.

i dont want to push the 'guestimating factor' lol but i believe all the brake lines are 1/4 or somewhere between 4-6mm..theyre quite small but the fuel line to me looks 3/8 (10mm) to me

damn 250k xD lol, i only got 220k on mine currently, but i put on +100miles a day so it gets higher every week
