Subject:11x3.5 fuel hose

Hi,

So, in the process of trying to figure out my stalling I started by
draining all of the gas from the tank and replacing fuel line as I go.

There's a run from the tank to the fuel pump that is larger then
standard 7mm line. It's marked 11x3.5. Went to a couple of local FLAPS,
but no one has it in stock and they haven't heard of it.

They have heater hose that's a really close match. Is that suitable to
use? It seems like it's before any pressure happens so I think it might
be ok but am seeking more seasoned opinions.

Worst case scenario I can reuse the existing one, but would prefer to
replace with new as I go along.

I'm getting a good lesson in patience as nothing is proceeding as
quickly as I'd like. Perhaps it's the restless nights with a newborn, or
the anticipation of family camping trips in the bus... either way, it's
a good lesson to learn :-)

Cheers,
Harry
