Fuel Hoses for 1750 Spider (Inj)

I know that I need fuel hoses in two diameters: 1) 12mm to run from the tank to the pump, 2) 8mm to run from the pump forward. From past experience, does anyone have a recommendation on hose length? I can't readily get underneath the car at this time. Thanks!

Welcome to the AlfaBB, tbishop!

The BBs resident Spica expert, Roadtrip, is away for a few days so all I can say until I get to the parts book tonight is that there's no fuel rail or injector hoses on a Spica equiped 1750. The injectors are fed thru hard metal lines directly from the mechanical injection pump.

It may depend on what type of fuel pump is on your car. It could have a Spica or Bosch pump with the two ports side-by-side. It could have a Bosch pump with the ports that appear to go straight thru. Or, it could have the Bosch pump that has the ports arranged in a "L" relationship.

You don't need to order fuel line. You can get the stuff at any parts store.
