• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

What size is the Fuel hose that feeds the filter?

I need to know what size the fuel hose is that feeds the fuel filter. I know there are two different sizes of hoses, what are they? A friend said his Spyder is leaking fuel. I am going tomorrow to check it out.
It's for an '18 RTL.
TIA

As part of my replace everything when I purchased my 77K mile Spyder, I replaced the fuel filter which I recommend your friend does too. There were no leaks but the cords were showing through the pressure-side hoses: tank-to-filter and filter-to-Y-fitting. The pressure and return hoses are two different sizes -- I replaced both. Make sure you use the fuel hose clamps not worm gear clamps to ensure even tightening tension around the hoses. And search is your friend.

This is embarrassing. Asked a direct question and I blather on about whatever. Apologies.

Fuel pressure hose says 9.5mm (3/8").
Fuel return hose is 5/16" (I can't find size on hose).

However the WIX 33095 pressure side filter inlet and outlet are 5/16".

All I can say is it works for me.
