I don't know where you would buy it from, but wouldn't 1/2" be large enough? I would assume you are upgrading from the factory 3/8" line?

Most of this guy's business is hard line. He sells T-304 seamless aircraft quality tubing in 5/8". Scroll to the bottom of the page. He doesn't list prices so I guess you'll have to call him. http://bentcustomandperformance.com/store.html

if your fuel pumps in and out line size is not 5/8 " or bigger than why do you need it that big - also to correctly fill at the rate of size your pump at an on spill rate would have to be more than 50 gallons a minuet < BTW your house garden hose with 50 PSI does a 5 gallon bucket in 25 seconds out of a 5/8 hose -- re think or ask for a usable set up the guys will help -- jz

im using an aeromotive A1000 pump. they reccommend -10AN lines for feed and return. 5/8 is -10AN so thats the reason for the such big lines. the in and the out of the pump are -10AN.
