Hmmm...Is there a problem with running 3/8" USCG approved fuel hose from the fuel pump up to the dual inlet fitting using barbed fittings and hose clamps? Seems like an unecessary hassle hard lining the fuel line unless you are very concerned about aesthetics.

Yeah it can be a big problem. Rubber hose should not be used on motor. only into water seperator. Heat, even the potential of an overheated motor melting a hose or being cut or abraded by a thrown belt, oil damage etc are things that do happen to rubber hose on the motor. I even had a copper fuel line rupture due to cracking. and even with a check valve I found the boat with a bilge full of fuel, (I had a full tank). I now flare double annealed stainless from summit. 3/8 20' , is $30, what a bargain... BBB
