    I have purchased that same one from Leaders 2x and I broke the nipple on one ( from this pic I remember it being yellow, think I got in the lid or something but I would get a spare and keep on the boat, like a drain plug might help you or a fellow boater someday.

    I'll keep the old one on the boat for emergency situations like a broken fuel peg.

Kind of reminds me of the merc ones to be honest.

    Get the correct ethanol resistant fuel lines and then don’t worry about where you fill up. Mine got changed about 10 years ago at GFM and have not had an issue since. We only have 10% here. The motors are made to run on it, just have to make sure your fuel line is compatible

    Any suggestions on primer bulb and possible some good fuel line?

    So $135 is going to break the bank? might be time to sell the rig?

    Make sure when you replace it that you dip the end of the fuel line you are attaching to the primer bulb in near boiling water to soften it up a bit. If you don't do this you run the risk of the inner liner folding over during install. This will cause many headaches down the road.
