Hi Jonathan,
I'm just replacing the fuel and oil lines on my aircraft. I ordered 3m of Parker
Push-Lok 836-8 from Listers (01215256485), cost was 100.61 incl VAT and del.
I had about 400mm left over.
I needed 8 metres of 8mm (5/16) tube and 5 metres of 6mm (1/4) tube. I used
Gates Barricade tube for carburettors, it's good for 50psi and is a bit more
flexible than the injection hose. I couldn't get mine from the same supplier so
I got the 6mm from

and 8mm from
https://www.partsinmotion.co.uk/index.php?option=com_virtuemart&view=productdetails&virtuemart_category_id=313&virtuemart_product_id=155116&Itemid=139
the 8mm hose was 7.5 metres on a roll which was 'just' enough.
Your aircraft may require different amounts from mine as they have all been
built
differently. 30min with a tape measure with the top cowl off and a bit of
crawling
around underneath should give you an accurate enough figure to order both
sets of hoses. My aircraft is an XS mono with 912ULS.
