Remove the hose and check the inside diameter then buy that size or better yet take the hose to the parts store and telll them "I need this". Use only hose intended for fuel injection and used high pressure clamps.
Hope this helps.
You're right, I had a friend measure it on the outside and I later measured it on the inside and it was 3/8ths. Also this is a hose from the tank to the main fuel line (I learned a lot in the last day lol) I took it down to Check and then Nappa and they gave me a non-high pressure hose and said it would work for atleast awhile, I only need a "fix" for about 2 months until I get rid of the car. The hose they gave me they said wasn't for high-pressure, and it looks exactly the same as the hose I took off my car. I'm hoping it works, we'll see I guess.
