For fuel  injection. What is the correct size hose? What kind and what size 
hose clamps  to buy? How many feet and how many FI hose clamps to buy and 
where? 

I  got to do this right. 
 
The correct size is 7.5mm, but nobody sells it. What everyone else is  
using is 8mm or 5/16ths fuel injection hose. Yes, it's expensive as hell,  
butit's compatible with ALL fuels, and lasts a very long time. You need 25 feet  
of it (this includes doing the little injector hoses too) and 35 FI clamps. 
You  can get these at any good FLAPS (Friendly Local Auto Parts Store). If 
you're  looking to cheap out a little, and aren't worried about replacing the 
hose more  often, the you can use standard 5/16ths fuel hose. It'll be good 
enough to  handle the FI fuel pressure, and it'll live thru some of the 
chemicals in  today's fuels, but it'll need replacing every 3 to 5 years.
I hope this helps.
