It would be fine (AFAIK) but I think that 3/8" would be a little too big for a mini. Have you measured your existing fittings etc? When I did mine a week ago I used 1/4" fuel line
(1/2" OD)

Shouldn't need bigger than 5/16" for fuel line.

You could use that but I reckon that stuff just makes you look cheap. Generally it doesn't fit as well as the proper stuff and you can see the hoses through it. The hoses can get dirty underneath the braid. Personally i would spend the extra money and get the proper stuff. See what other people think in my thread entited "Guess how much" from a couple of days ago (in Mini Chat). It is up to you though - depends on how much dosh you have - my budget blew out so long ago I don't care what I spend on my car anymore. |

Should be alright but worth checking with the seller that it is suitable for ethanol blended fuel as well as normal fuel . They have ethanol blends in the states as well but worth making sure in case it's cheap because it isn't suitable . |
