Fuel Pipe - 6mm, 7mm or 8mm?

[cancunia]

Sorry for what might be a daft question but wondered what people are using for fuel pipe. The tank and carb barbs are about 8mm but I'm guessing that 8mm hose will be too big as it won't be stretch so that leaves 6mm or 7mm? 6mm is easy to find, but maybe too small?

Thanks

I'll get the hot water ready for a bit of pipe stretching in that case. I'll be adding some in line filters this time as well so hopefully I won't have to wrestle with the tank or carb ends of the pipes more than once.

Nitrile Black 6mm. Don't go buying it rom a bike shop, buy it from a garden machinery shop or online at a fraction of the cost.
Just a few quid per metre https://www.advancedfluidsolutions.co.u ... ion=SEARCH

Thanks for the replies, I have some 6.3mm hose from another project that should do the trick. When I tried to push it over the tap barbs it was really tight so thought it best to ask first.
