    Default What size is the Fuel hose that feeds the filter?

    I need to know what size the fuel hose is that feeds the fuel filter. I know there are two different sizes of hoses, what are they? A friend said his Spyder is leaking fuel. I am going tomorrow to check it out.
    It's for an '18 RTL.
    TIA

    As part of my replace everything when I purchased my 77K mile Spyder, I replaced the fuel filter which I recommend your friend does too. There were no leaks but the cords were showing through the pressure-side hoses: tank-to-filter and filter-to-Y-fitting. The pressure and return hoses are two different sizes -- I replaced both. Make sure you use the fuel hose clamps not worm gear clamps to ensure even tightening tension around the hoses. And search is your friend.

    This is embarrassing. Asked a direct question and I blather on about whatever. Apologies.

    Fuel pressure hose says 9.5mm (3/8").
    Fuel return hose is 5/16" (I can't find size on hose).

    However the WIX 33095 pressure side filter inlet and outlet are 5/16".

    All I can say is it works for me.
