MF 1433v
After 10 years of trouble free operation, my MF 1433 finally needs a repair!
The fuel line between the pump and the injector manifold sprung a leak and I'll need to replace it.
So part of my holiday will be spent doing this.
I found a near match for the line at the local auto parts store.
By near match, I mean that the inside diameter of the hose is about 1/32" smaller than the hose I'm replacing.
So my question is -
Will that slight diff cause any problems? I.e. is that going to put more stress on the fuel pump since it will be pumping against a slightly higher head?
Could it lead to premature failure of the pump? Will the smaller diameter size lead to performance issues?
Or am I over thinking this?

Happy Thanksgiving!

Probably the same hose i have. One time when it was real cold i had a leak, but as it warm up that week, it stop. I think it was leaking at the tank connection. I think there the same hoses that are on the newer 1500 series. I have a Massey dealer only five miles away. I'm sure i could get one there. Not sure about the diameter size hose.
