size of fuel line tube?

you know the main fuel line? where it screws into a rubber hose, then about a foot later, screws back into the steel line? well what size is that rubber hose?

reason i ask is i need to cut that hose, install a t fitting that will run to my 1/8" inlet on my fuel solenoid.

Should either be 3/8 or 5/16. You should have one size of each. Inlet and outlet lines.

The hose is measured by inside diameter. The two metal lines are 3/8" for pressure and 5/16" for return.
