Hello:
Most of what I'm seeing is to go with the Mahle filter that has 8mm fittings on each end: https://www.pelicanparts.com/More_Info/3111...I=5882&fs=0 But the supply line from the tank is larger (9mm?) I see that Tangerine has metal tube reduction adaptors but what are people doing otherwise to fit the larger rubber fuel lines onto this type of filter? Just crank down on the clamp? TIA. Ron |

The factory had a rubber reducer just before the filter. They are NLA unless Auto Atlanta is getting them made.
Don't attempt to fit the wrong size hose on a fitting. That's a recipe for disaster. |

Thanks for the quick info. I'll check with AA but wonder if something like this would work: https://www.amazon.com/Reducer-Hose-Brass-F...s/dp/B078QZ2MJC
