Hi there,

I want to do an order tonight so I don't have to drive over to the other side of the city. What is the size for the fuel line coming from fuel tank in a 1972 Kombi?

purdy sure it would be 6mm hose as that's the bog standard size I've been using for standard kit
don't get American imperial shite as it never fits good
go the german if u can

It's 5mm not 6 h, if your engine bay has a top hatch, it had a type 4 engine so the tank had a 7 mm outlet to the pump, if no hatch, it was a 1600 so the og tank had a 5mm outlet.

Where are the best places to get them? I really would like to go a good quality braided line soon enough for a replacement.

The best is german, apparently, I now have some pretty good braided lines, but not quite sure where they're from. The breakdown kit is looking nice and plump again.

Large hose from tank to pump = 7mm
All other small hoses = 5.5mm
