Rustyred 63 #1 Posted April 30, 2024 I have a 12.5 horse Briggs and Stratton that I need to replace the fuel line on. Because I have moved to Europe, I have to go with a metric size hose. The tractor has had the normal 1/4 inch hos until now. So the question is: can I replace a 1/4 inch hose with .6 mm hose? 1/4 inch equals 6.35 mm so I would be going ever so slightly smaller with the hose. In fact, that's downsizing by only 1/32 of an inch. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A 1/4" fuel line feeds a 400 cubic inch V8 all day long, you shouldn't use as much as a V8. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
