While I'm replacing the fuel pump, I'd like to replace the filter and inside fuel lines. They don't look like normal fuel lines, that would be used on the outside of the tank. Where can I buy them??? Thanks

Most auto parts stores will have them. You need the kind of hose that is designed to be submersed in gasoline - maybe all of them are now.

I replaced the lines on my K75 and couldnt find lines of the same dia at our auto stores.

Ended up buying buying the lines from Motorbins.

Thanks, I ask at the local Advance auto, and they didn't have a clue what I was talking about. I'm wondering if regular gas line is safe to use...

Since most, if not all vehicles have the fuel pump in the gas tank, it should not be difficult to find fuel hose that will work - it needs to be submersible and have the proper pressure rating. The chain stores might not stock it.

The dealer sells the hose for reasonable money. I replaced mine this winter.

The hose number you are looking for is SAE 30R10. This is the submersible hose. 30R9 is fuel injector hose but is not submersible.

I found some online @ Euro moto electrics. They cost $15.00 and are on the way. Thanks everyone for your input. Kenny...
