Why not double check if your near your car mate, i'm at work so cannot double check for you...but i'm sure they were 10mm. The vent pipe may be a different size.

All measurements outer diameter:

I just measured mine. On the left side of the boot there is 1 * 6mm line and on the right side of the boot there is 1 * 6mm and 2 * 8mm, next to the fuel pump connector.

Does this mean that there are 2 breathers in the tank? One each side of the car? They must be the 2 * 6mm lines, so how do i identify which is the outlet and which is the return, for the 8mm lines?

Thanks
