XI Fuel Line

Recommended Posts

bmsgaffer

This is a simple question. What size fuel line does the 522XI use?

 

My 522XI has 5/16 fuel injection rated fuel line on it from the tank to the pump... I know I dont need FI rated, but do I need the 5/16 vs the standard 1/4"?

Edited by bmsgaffer
corrected from 5/8... DOH

That should be 5/16 fuel line.

Without the 5/16" fuel line there might be delivery problems.

I replaced mine with 1/4" and a new fuel pump

Was yours 5/16 all the way to the pump? Mine was 5/16 to the filter, then 1/4 to the pump and i think 1/4 beyond tomthe carb but id have to double check that.

Good to know, i may do that next time around. The 5/16 was a pain to fish through the loops and I put a 1/4 filter on it because I have a bunch.

I replaced the entire fuel line. Installed 1/4 turn inline valve, filter and boat type hand pump. Turn valve off and run it dry for storage. Squeeze the hand pump a few times and she fires right up. No more dead batteries
