Default Any ill-effects of using 3/16" OD brake line for fuel line?

I need to replace my leaking fuel line. The OEM fuel line Outer-diameter on my Accord is 5/16", are there any pressure-related issues of using 3/16" brake line as the fuel line? - Stock fuel pump.

I'll bet money that your car gets fuel cut. My 5/16" fuel line was slightly crushed and it would fuel cut around 3500RPM. Do NOT use the 3/16" line.

There's no pressure related issues, but you will have fuel volume issues. Get some 5/16" brake line.
