Don, I bought some ethanol fuel lines recently. Today I put the new lines in and noticed a problem. The blue arrows on the fuel lines are not pointing toward my outboard. Is this a problem and should I change them around? Thank you.

Hmmmnnnn.... so you put the lines in with the arrows pointing towards the tank, did ya?
The PRIMER BULB's arrow <u>must</u> point towards the engine. The arrows on the fuel line itself are actually a "measurement marking" (and the line is not "directional").
Don't worry about the arrows... it won't hurt anything. Of course... I usually try to make sure they point towards the engine, just to avoid being questioned.

Don, you of all people should know that fuel will not flow backwards through a fuel line.......
