[urq] Leaking Fuel Lines

[Daniel Jones]

Actually 5/16" fuel line is the better bet. The original is 8mm or 0.314"
5/16 being 0.312 is close enough to allow the reuse of the ends with a
bubble flaring tool. As well as standard compression unions as a repair in a
pinch.

p.s. Mike, you have way too many cool toys

Its not even worth getting the prebent ones. Replacing them on the UrQ
is a piece of cake. Im doing it as we speak (?!)  Just get a reel of
stainless line from summit (3/8", $32 for 20 feet).  Use a bubble flare
tool and youre done.  Plus being stainless you will never have to worry
about them again.
