5/16 fuel line will work. It does not matter what color fuel line it is.

my stock line leaks where it meets the carb :P also would a funnel shaped fuel filet be more efficient than the stock cylindrical ones?

I use regular 5/16 fuel line from the tank to the filter, but had to use the kit line to the carb because I couldn't fit the thicker line in the narrow space provided. I kept it from leaking by using hose clamps on the attachment points.

if your fuel line leaks, go to pep boys and buy some automotive line and some small hose clamps.

as far as the filter goes, i doubt it'd make any difference. i've got a chromed aluminum filter from "mr. gasket" on mine. works great.
