    Fuel Lines

    After all the reading on fuel lines and ethanol, I decided to change my fuel lines out this weekend. I ordered the lines fron Don and Rhonda and their service was great! I am so glad that I changed them out because afterwards, I cut open a small section from the 5/16 hose (bulb to motor) and WOW! The liner inside the hose was deteriorated badly and was crumbling and falling apart in my hand. I think I did this just in time. Thanks Don for everything! I recommend that everyone at least check your lines and replace if older than three years. The hose from the tank to the bulb was fine but the hose from the bulb to the motor had the red/orange writing on it and was very bad.

    Glad you got that in time, Eric!

    Don't forget to check your fuel filter for "more" of this same material.
