    1998 Triton TR20 Gas line?

    I'm thinking about changing my Gas line from the tank to the primer ball.

    Does anyone know how many feet I would need to buy? and the size of the Gas line? Where's a good place to buy the line?

    Any tricks to doing this job? I'm thinking to attach the new line to the old one with a brass fitting and pull thru,

    I'm also thinking this job would be alot easier with 2 people.

    thanks

    Just measure from the primer bulb to the side of the boat, down the side of the boat across from the fuel tank and to the fuel tank. Add a couple of feet for good measure. I pulled mine through connecting the hoses with a double hose barb.

    Not sure if I did this link right. See below. If link doesn't work, go to Search and use my user name (marshall256) with keyword "fuel". It will pop up for you.

    Thanks, Where did you buy the Fuel Line? Auto parts store or do they have a Marine fuel Line?

    I bought mine from my boat dealer. You want to buy marine grade fuel line and you want to make sure it's ethanol resistant.
