Around here they have 3 or 4 Hispanic staff..... When I needed fuel line and injector return line for the F250, I asked the lady at O'Reilly if they had 3/16 fuel line. She says that she doesn't know, and takes me back to the fuel hose stock to look if anything is small enough. There wasn't any, but I found some in their regular stock out front.
