I have a gas leak on my scooter and in order to get to it I had to take all of the plastics off. Upon further inspection, it seems that quite a few hoses are showing dry rot (cracks). I can't seem to find the correct fuel lines at any of the auto parts stores. Does anyone know what size they are (diameter)? I've decided since all of the body panels are off I'm going to replace all of the fuel lines one at a time from the gas tank all the way back including the fuel filter. I've taken one of the fuel lines to the stores and they can't seem to match it to anything in stock. All of the fuel lines seem to be the same diameter. What size and where can I get them??

Autozone and Advance have bulk fuel and vacuum line by the foot. Good quality and fiber reinforced, unlike the trash that came standard. Ask the counter guy as they usually keep it in back. I got 3 feet of fuel line and that was plenty. Be sure to get new clamps as well.

the hoses on there,are probably the chinese junk that came with the scoot....I replaced mine when doing my pdi & that was in 2008 & 20500 mile later they still look great.....I also went with a electronic fuel pump that I purchased at the nearby napa auto parts store....It's a fuel pump for a riding lawn mower......
