It should be marked EFI on the hose someplace. 5/16" an 8mm are so close to the same size, that you can't hardly measure the difference. I would not buy any of the braided OEM syle hose that is sold now days. It has a single ply fabric. The newer EFI hose is typically rated for 250 psi, and will probably outlast the car. Here at work, we buy the EFI hose in 5000 ft spools and cut it to the lengths we need. Russ Wolfe russ_wolfe@MAHLEParr.com Mahle Parr Filter Systems 505 E.
