-6 means that the pipe OD will be 6/16". The ID will vary depending on what type of hose you use but it'll probable be around 8mm.

-6 is good for WAY more flow than you will ever need

Absolutely. Although if it is on the tank-pump side, I'd always prefer a larger hose so there is no risk ever that cavitation could occur at the pump.

From pump-engine -6 is more than adequate for any Mini.

9.85 @ 145mph
202mph standing mile
speed didn't kill me, but taxation probably will
