What is the correct fuel hose size for a 73 carbureted engine?
Fuel hose size

- Start date
In what part of the car? The pipes that run from the tank to the front of the car are primarily metal while in the engine bay most of the hose is 8x13 rubber standard fuel line hose

Thank you ,
that is exactly what i bought and where i bought it from ... its excellent fuel hose.
The only ethanol resistant ones I’ve found.
And so who is running ethanol-free gas, since you just brought it up 
I keep ethanol free in my spare gas can and in my MG I’ve previously run it when I can get to the place nearby that has it, but otherwise just going standard 92

Where i live, there is NO ethanol free stations nearby. so i am changing all of the gas lines on my coupe to the Contitech hose. i am also using the high-pressure hose clamps everywhere on the fuel lines ... better safe than sorry in my book. might be overkill, but it doesn't cost that much to feel comfortable. the pumps for downdraft carbs isn't as strong as the electric fuel pumps for injection.
No ethanol free fuel in CA
I saw pumps that offered no ethanol fuel while driving across the US.. that is not an option in my part of Pennsylvania.
our friend @Stevehose used to talk about https://www.pure-gas.org/ ... it lists station locations by state that sell ethanol-free gas. there is now a couple within 5 miles of me.
actually there might be
The link shows the hose by part #, but not the length you are buying for $24.96. How long is the hose?
Sold by the meter
Amazing, I found a place selling ethanol-free gas just a mile and a half from my house. I don't drive that way so didn't know.
Yeah, we have a couple nearby here..I use it in all my yard machines/small motors. Otherwise they just don't last long..kinda spendy for a car, but maybe I'll try it out..
Nothing close enough for the drive to make sense for me.
