Hi Craig,
Sorry guys for not getting the message complete on the fuel lines. Rubber
Hoses are measured with inside diameters and metal tubes are measured with
outside diameter. The use of the 3/8 aluminum tube is the outside diameter
and used with 3/8" AN flare fittings. I apologize for the incompletness of
the note.
Regards,
Bob Berube
