[QUOTE="MrGiggles, post: 486084, member: 22613"] 5/16 is 8mm for all intents and purposes. The only difference between an 8mm and a 5/16 socket is the engraving, it's one of the few conversions where the small difference is within tolerance of most things. Go to the local farm supply and just get some plain old 5/16 fuel hose. The sun will rot it in a couple years, but at least it's cheap, and it doesn't have that inner plastic lining that will disintegrate and clog up the whole fuel system like the marine style lines. The cracking that you're seeing is likely a combination of flexing and UV damage. Not much you can do about it. [/QUOTE]
