fuel line oops

Ok, I ordered a fuel cell and some fittings and such. the fuel cell uses -8 an fitting size and so I ordered the fittings and matching hose......the hose is replacing my trashed stock fuel lines, and its 1/2 inch rather than the stock 5/8. is that hose too big, as in will I have air gaps or anything ?
I'm using a stock (new) fuel pump on a 79 fj40 and wasn't sure if the fuel hose will be a problem being bigger than stock.

I used larger lines before... as long as the lines get bled they will work fine (If you have a return line plumbed like it is stock its even easier as it will bleed itself. On my truck I had the return blocked so if I ran out of fuel I had to crack the fuel line to bleed the lines...

cool thank you. I do have the return set up so Shouldn't be a big problem then. I just wasn't sure if it would affect fuel delivery in a negative way by having the larger lines.
pretty stoked to get it going again. its been a while waiting and I'll finally get to get it going again!

As long as it doesn't leak it should be fine...
