Where to buy fuel line

[brantley]

I developed a leak in a fuel line on my tractor which I had posted about here

I am not quite sure about what type of fuel line I need to get.
The original line on the tractor has braiding on the outside. However the auto parts stores I have tried only carry smooth fuel line. Is smooth okay or should I replace with braided? Is the fuel line sold at auto parts stores safe for diesel?

The other problem I am running into is trying to find metric fuel line. 1/4 inch fuel line fits for going into the pump.

For the return line I tried some 3/16 fuel line, but the fit is just a little loose. I am guessing that the problem is that the fittings are metric.

Is there a place I can order fuel line online so I can get exactly what I need?

I purchased diesel fuel line at our local Auto Zone. At the time I was also mating it to metric fittings for a Chinese built tractor. I only needed to replace it once and it held up well.

have you checked with the dealer? (obvious question) also i do beleive most auto parts stores should handel it. if possible take it with you and they should be able to match it.

I replaced the return line on my Mitsubishi with fuel line for chainsaws. Been on there since 96.

I replaced mine with some I got at NAPA. My old one had a spring like cover around it for protection. I just took it off the old one and put it on the replacement.
