Hey guys, What is the size of the fuel hose in the gas tank? and the one from the fuel filter to rail?

3/8"? 5/16"?

Also, any ol' fuel hose will do from like Autozone etc?

I'm planning on making the fuel hose line longer from the filter -> fpr - getting an electronic sending unit & want to reroute to mount to chassis - any adverse affects if the line "squirms around" as long as no kinks in the line?

For the fuel pressure gauge, can I just use an oil pressure gauge since I have those handy?

5/16".

And BE SURE they sell you HIGH PRESSURE fuel injection hose...the cheaper stuff is not rated for fuel injection, and will burst and burn your car to the ground. Maybe not, but it's safer to use the right stuff :P

Fuel line moving around will cause NO issues, you're OK there.
