    new gas line

    I have an 01 tr20 with a 225 optimax. wanting to change the fuel line. Does anyone know what sise line I need and how many feet I will need to replace from the tank to the motor? Also wondering if there is a special primer bulb to resist the ethnol. Thanks

    Re: new gas line (findley1202)

    We can supply you with the newer EPA approved lines.

    3/8"ID from the fuel tank to the primer bulb (you must measure or safely estimate)

    5/16"ID from primer bulb TO THE FUEL PUMP INSIDE THE COWLING (again, measure.... remember to go all the way to the fuel pump).

    Appropriate primer bulb is Part# 13330Q07

    Email or phone is the best way to contact the parts department (info also in a post pinned to the top of the forum).

    13330Q07 is an ethanol resistant primer bulb.

    Normally, they're good for 3-4 years (subject of course to environmental conditions, and the quality of the fuel utilized in them).
