[QUOTE="OFF TRAC, post: 933789, member: 63258"] 5/8 diameter. IMO, no it will not be a permanent fix. Reason is that the piece of fuel line used to "fix" the elbow is small and will not bend well. It will tend to pinch in the bend area. I drove my ST with the fuel line "fix" for about 2 months and had no issues. I replaced it because in the back of my mind I didn't like the idea of the fuel line possibly pinching itself close after multiple exposure to heat and the gunk running through it that it might make the CEL come on. The Ford Rubber elbow is molded in the correct bend required so no pinch issues with it and the factory one on my ST lasted 8 years, so that's why I went ahead and replaced it with the Ford Kit.
