Looking for exact size (diameter) for the fuel line coming from the tank to fuel filter/pump. There are three common sizes, and I don't have the boat near me to measure it. This is for 98 model engine.

If you have done this job, where did you mount the filter in engine bay?

Thanks guys!

It SHOULD be 3/8" Type A1 fuel line if it was installed to Volvo specs by the boat manufacturer. That is not something Volvo can control.

3/8" Type A1 sounds good, a very common size. Thanks for a quick reply.

Cheers!
