Oh cool, is 8mm ok for feed and return? or get some of both? I can order it through work, if they get the kind of discount we do on tools it'll be cheaper then that.

Our machinery has copper lines for the Lubrication system

8mm if fine for both increasing the size is ok but decreasing will give you problems

I'm gonna reuse my feed pipe as the return as it's not pressurised. For the feed 8 - 10 mm of whatever's the cheapest.
