I did this on my 4ktq.  I ran -6 braided line all the way to the pump and
tank for supply and reserve.  I didn't have to connect to the stock CIS
metering head fuel lines though so I'm not 100% positive on size.

My GUESS is probably either 14 or 16mm with 1.5 thread pitch.  You should be
able to measure the fitting size pretty easily.  The thread pitch on all of
the fuel fittings I have encountered is 1.5.

I DO know the pump end.  The fuel filter has a 14x1.5mm outlet on one side
and 12x1.5 on the other.  the pump is 12x1.5.  You will want to use a banjo
fitting because they are cheaper and the clearance available due to the
electrical connections makes that the logical choice.


Hope that helps
