I am restoring a 90 lx that had an engine compartment fire, and I am almost done with phase one, getting it running again. I have one problem that nobody seems to be able to help me with. When I disconnected the fuel lines from the fuel rails, I found that the o-rings had been damaged, too damaged to even have a reference for replacing them, and it seems as though none of the one I have tried fit right. So if anybody knows off hand what size o-rings go into the spring lock fittings between the fuel lines and the fuel rails, or if anyone is willing to check, I would greatly appreciate your help. Thanks

If you have a set of measuring calipers, you can find out yourself with this chart.

I have a copy printed out...i've used it more times than I can remember

I would look into replacing the lines unless you are absolutely certain they did not get hurt.

The lines should be okay, doesnt seem like the fire was too bad, just enough to mess up the o rings. The lines are steel, and dont seem to be harmed other than the o rings.
