Hi all,
I am looking for a part number or compatible part to replace a perished fuel line. The photo below accurately shows the location of the line. It is underneath the inlet manifold;

As you can see by the fuel dampened area which hose I refer to. This is on the left (RHD passenger side) of the car.

What is the length of the hose, diameter etc. I am interstate and can't simply pop out and have a look, I need to order the part so it can be replaced. On www.realoem.com I can find the junction that is plugs into (part# 13311709577). Is it the 8x13mm (part# 16121180409) hose from the fuel filter/fuel strainer?

But I just can't find the part for this hose or even any diagrams that show this hose. If anyone can tell me, then it would save me a heap of time and hassle.

Cheers all.
Shane

So I think I found the part. I ordered part# 16121180409 a Fuel Hose 8mm x 1m. I am pretty confident it's the one to replace the perished and split one.
Next year, I plan on replacing all rubber hoses with braided hoses and radiator/cooling hoses with silicon, then they should last quite a bit longer and stay in much better condition.

You don't need to buy it from the dealer. All you need is unleaded specific fuel house with an 8mm internal diameter you can probably get a decent length from ebay and then cut it to the size you need

Thanks Rob,
I was a bit pressed for time, as the mechanic starts on Monday, so to be safe, I just ordered this with express postage. It arrives today. The other one will need replacing too, so I'll do the other one with an aftermarket hose.
