Hi
I run fuel lines inside my, dare i say on this forum...........Nova.
I would say you need dash 6 (-6), not 6mm hose.
One think i would say if you can afford it go for the fuel hose that has a plastic coating over the brade. Braded fuel lines allows fuel vapour to seep through and makes the car stink!!! The plastic coated is about 3 times the price though.

If you look here it tells you sizes http://www.bgcmotorsport.co.uk/newfuel.html
-6 hose is actually 8.73mm internal which is probably more like what you need.
Cheers
Martin

Just had a scoot around the web but cant find it.
Can see mentions of it on GTR furum etc.
I think its either PTFE or Teflon coated you need.
If you ask your hose supplier i'am sure they can advise.
When i was offered it from my supplier it came out if i remember about £70 per metre!!!!!!!

Use OPA, no smell, cheap as chips, VERY tough and resistant to all oils/fuels, and can take air pressure, so use as other things like air comp hose etc, will be rated at 25 bar.
