Re: Fuel line question
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
