You have 2 choices 3/16 & 1/4 on some sled the 3/16 is real tight so you will need to heat it up (with a hair dryer or heat gun) on the ends to push it over the fittings. on some sleds the 1/4 is a little loose so you will need clamps to hold the lines on. Your choice??
Now there are different grades or colors of SNOWMOBILE fuel line, spend a little more & buy the better/best fuel line, the cheap stuff gets hard in real cold weather, & it doesn't last near as long, so in the long run you will end up replaceing more often so you'll be spending more.

Any of the catalog suppliers have what you are looking for, Central Snowmobile, Dennis Kirk, Manufacturers Supply.
If you have a local sled or atv store, ask to see their Parts Unlimited catalog.
