Call Don Weed @ European Marine. BBC sponsor and they can fix you right up with the proper lines.

DO NOT buy from an automotive part store. They can't get what you need.

autoparts store, by the foot

3/8 or 5/16

You might want to read the reviews on that one.

Wrong size sent. Not EPA compliant. Several reviews that give me pause.

WHY wouldn't you replace something as important as a fuel line with line that Merc dealers supply? It's not like this is going to be a yearly maintenance operation. Once every 4-5 years is sufficient.

Go with European Marine. It's not Amazon and it won't be the cheapest. But how many times do you want to replace it or fight issues? If you don't have time to do it right the first time, tell me when you have time to do it again. And by doing UT again, you just lost your savings.

Last thing you want to do is buy cheap when replacing that.

Don't see any labeling. Is that the line with the BLUE print?

I'd like to know because it isn't supposed to do that.

What's wrong with the ethanol resistant line from the auto parts store?

What's wrong with the ethanol resistant line from the auto parts store?

What's wrong with the ethanol resistant line from the auto parts store?

2 types of specs on fuel line for marine use. the line hidden under the deck requires a different spec. automotive grade likely ok above or not inside deck area

You guys who are doubting that the auto parts store line is wrong ..... Be my guest.

I'm just trying to help by referring folks to Don's thread about this.

Personally, It's your boat and I could care less if you put a water hose on it ............

You can post all the links you want but at the end of the day its just another persons opinion that makes a living from selling merc parts.

And spends countless hours on here trying to be of assistance. For FREE. I've seen him spend literally hours assisting a member with a problem and at the end of the day got paid nothing for his troubles.

And why did you replace all of your own lines with Merc lines instead of the auto lines?

[aarchdale]

I didnt, Just said i did to avoid this sort of discussion.

I just replaced my above deck line with Trident B1-15. It is a thinner wall and is more flexible than the Marpac blue line I replaced. It was really easy to work with, but I think you have to be careful it isn't put into a position to kink.
