What are the sizes of fuel line?
Recommended Size, Based on Horsepower
| Recommended Fuel Line Size (from the tank to the pump) | ||
|---|---|---|
| Engine Output | Size (inches) | Size (AN) |
| 350-450 hp | 3/8 in. | -6 |
| 450-650 hp | 1/2 in. | -8 |
| 650-1,000 hp | 5/8 in. | -10 |
What size fuel line is 6AN?
3/8″ OD
FYI: Popular fuel line sizes: -6AN (=3/8″ OD) -8AN (=1/2″ OD) -10AN (=5/8″ OD)
Does bigger fuel line size matter?
Fuel line diameter matters A LOT! A larger diameter is generally better, but the correct diameter is the best choice. If the diameter is too small: you won’t be able to support your horsepower goal. If the diameter is too big: the lines will take longer to pressurize.

What is 8 an fitting?
“AN” Thread Sizes The nominal outside diameter of the tubing is expressed in sixteenths of an inch increments and then given an equivalent dash number. For example, an -8 AN fitting translates to an 8/16 inches, or 1/2-inch.
Is 3/8 fuel line big enough?
A 3/8”id fuel line can easily support 600 HP given sufficient “pump head”! Given a big enough pump a 3/8” steel line could support 1000 HP. The simple way to know is to install an electronic fuel pressure gauge. If the pressure falls as the engine RPM’s go up you need more pump head.
Does fuel line size affect pressure?
Shows the relationship between measured pressure drop as a function of flow rate, for four different fuel lines (two different sizes at two different lengths). Every fuel line experiences pressure loss depending on fuel line length, and fuel flow rate.
Is a shorter fuel line better?
In the case of fuel lines, two influences increase friction and therefore fuel pressure drop. The first is the length of the fuel line – the longer it is the more friction will be incurred. The second is flow rate – as the rate is increased so is friction.

How do you tell what size an AN fitting is?
As mentioned earlier, you can always identify AN fittings based on the male thread size (outside diameter). These sizes are constant regardless of brand, hose type, or fitting configuration. If your fitting has a convex 37 degree flare at the end, the threads will tell you the AN size (and vice-versa).
