I noticed the Ethanol rated fuel lines have arrows facing a certain direction. I know the primer bulb does have to face the motor but does it really matter which way the the fuel lines ( arrows face or point ) ? lines look same inside.
Thanks in advance Don

That was a question of mine also... He said they were 1 foot marks, thats all. He also said he puts the lines in with the arrows pointing with the direction of fuel flow so that there is no questions.

Well thanks good buddy for that answer.I used to always put the arrows toward flow direction my self to just in case factory that made them in a wrap direction or something.But i always thought they were just 1 ft. marks.Either way after i got done installing mine.1 line is with arrows following flow direction from primer bulb side to motor.other line has arrows facing tank and not bulb.didnt see it till after finished .it was dark out and hanging drop lights.Motor seems to be running very well though.just was checking is all.
HA, Are you one of those people that it will drive you nuts? I'm not.

Nope not now...just ran it all day and its fine.But im pretty picky.
Arrows are "supposed" to be 1' length markings (as we've recently found- not always accurate).
The line is NON-DIRECTIONAL (doesn't matter which direction it's installed in).
I do, however, try to remember to install the line with the arrows facing the engine, just to avoid the inevitable "question".
