Default Recommended fuel line sizes???

Any ideas what would be recommended for my fuel lines bore sizes, feed and return? Running a T4 on Greys and looking to go for 650cc injectors at a later date. Using a lift pump to a ex.swirl tank then to a 044 pump.

Cheers,
Stu.

I best just double check this....internal diametre of -6 is 8.7, im right yeah?? If so then im happy as the fittings (excluding the pump feed obvisouly) are that size on the swirl pot. Just hear of some people using -8 but tbh that looked a tad over kill to me for what im going for
