The sizes are mentioned in some of the previous posts in this thread.

My fuel and vapour lines are both 3/8 or 10mm

I just had the shop make new nylon lines for mine... They used 3/8 inch line.

Do you have pictures?
I did find this video:

No pictures... I haven't been under the car since this was done. Rarely am I under a car and have a camera.

What they used is a nylon tubing made for fuel lines (I don't know a brand) that they have the tools to heat and properly form the bends matching the original lines and use the original hangers. (no zip tied hose strapped somewhere to the frame) Basically it's like the nylon pre-formed kits, but they make it themselves in house.

It's central Ohio, they do a lot of this stuff...

The shop didn't patch mine, though. They went new from tank to engine and did the vapor line too. (my request to replace all) They had to add the insulation where it runs close to the exhaust in the rear, like the factory line was.

Evidently, all of the connectors are available from any store that stocks Dorman products.

I had mine fixed about a year ago and somewhere on this board it was suggested that we call gm and report that this was a problem. I also read that we should notify the national transportation safety board and let them know so that maybe this will be part of a recall.
