checked the index and couldnt see anything in regards to this.

Just wanted to know what size everybody is using on their fuel pump setup on adm tanks

AE86 ADM Tank
Problem:
running 8mm hose and it wont stop leaking no matter how nicely l tighten/have it sitting.
Leaks from the main fuel line at top of the tank.

any help would be awesome.

Are you using worm drive hose clamps, or the stock spring clamps?. I've seen them leak with the stock ones.

yeah, proper hose clamps yeah worm drive [with screw and thread track] same style you would use on radiator hoses but 7-12mm clamps

Have you flared the end of the metal pipe before the rubber is put on?
