braided stainless fuel line?
As for the size...no, it is not the same. The hard line that brings the fuel up uses 3/8" quick disconnects...the hard line for the EVAP uses 5/16" quick disconnects.
That looks good. Except I'm going to put a 45º or 90º fitting on the bottom connection, and do silver fittings with a black nylon braided line. I've pinched my stock line, so I need to do this pretty soon.
I've never seen those, what car would they be found on? Or what part number would they be? I have the Russell fittings and I was concerned about the cheap plastic clips, too. I bought new ones (to replace the new ones that came with the Russell fittings) from Advance Auto and they are much sturdier, but still plastic.

A 90* fitting will work fine for the bottom connection (that's what I have on mine for clearance), and if you delete the EVAP system, just make sure the tank is still vented. You'll have problems otherwise.

Brett Foote I've been piecing this together online, the fittings are pricey but worth it. I'm just making sure to stay away from red and blue fittings. Everyone has them, and I think they are just tacky as hell too
What causes problems? I've had 2 cars with EVAP just turned off in the PCM, and removed it from the engine bay, that's it. Never see any problems over the past 3 years that way..

If the tank can't vent pressure, people will typically have problems getting the car to accept fuel from the pump at the gas station.
You can see both caps here, and the ugly fuel line that is getting replaced soon.
The line got super kinked taken the manifold off to put this new painted one on.. Look at the bend on the back, it's not supposed to bend that way

^ Nice! And OP; get Nylon, NOT rubber!
I had mine made locally to fit the length I needed. Also just need the -8 90* fitting, and a -6 (stock) quick disconnect fitting. Worked for me.
I like the black fittings from jegs though. I'll prolly re-do all of mine soon.

You did an -8 fitting? Why is that? I thought everything was -6?
Going to have a 45º off the bottom, into a straight connector on the rail, with a black quick connection fitting adapter. Don't like seeing all the flashy red and blue all the time. Should look really clean.
I forgot to order my tubing adapter on the hard line. Will be here later than the rest of my fittings
For future reference and anyone curious here is my list of parts to make a new fuel line, all with black hose and black/nickel fittings. There's many colors and brands to choose from also.
613093 - Russell 45º fitting for -6AN hose end (or use a straight or 90º fitting, your choice. I feel a 45º will work best)
632053 - Russell black nylon braided line. 3 ft
610023 - Russell straight fitting hose end
640853 - TWO Russell fuel line fitting adapters to 3/8" quick disconnect

I personally wouldn't recommend that line for fuel...the synthetic rubber inner liner will eventually degrade and start leeching fumes due to the additives in today's gas. Some people don't mind the fumes, but it gets a little overpowering, especially when kept in a closed-in garage.
It doesn't happen immediately, but over time you might start to notice it. Just passing it along, because I'll be replacing all of this:
and all of the lines in the back by the fuel tank due to this issue. Buying the same **** twice is never fun.

I'll keep an eye on it, it's already shipped out
At least I got all the fittings, this small fuel line won't be bad to replace. I just didn't want a silver line. If there was a BLACK stainless line, I would have gone that way, but the only black hoses are nylon braided.
