Hopefully someone can help me

I have been trying to find the reason that my M40 has been doing about 20mpg! :? on closer inspection i have a bad leak coming from the fuel hose that feeds into the bottom of the fuel filter from the fuel pipe under the car, all over hoses seem fine.

Which size hose is the replacement for this? as there is a 7.5mm a 8mm and a 9mm listed on GSF

Any help is much appreciated :D

8mm, make sure the hose has 'unleaded' on it, if it doesnt its not suitable and will leak
