What do you guys think? The 3/8 line is ~ .015 smaller in diameter than the 10MM...pretty close in my book. Any one of you do this? Thoughts / opinions?

We don't have 10mm fuel line. We have 7.3mm ID fuel line.
Please do not substitute. Over time, a smaller fuel line WILL split. Get the top-drawer Choline FI fuel hose available at your finer German dealerships or German Supply etc.

Scott at Germansupply has that exact hose, if you don't mind waiting, then emailing, then waiting, and that probably getting it.
