I am converting my 1996 502 ser # of 602209 from mpi to carb. I do not want to rob the brass 13" cool fuel tube so I an looking for a straight piece of alum or brass tubing 13"long by 1 1/4 OD. Merc cust serv could not help and I have searched various IPC's no luck. Anybody have a part # or know a shop that can make it w/ the bulb around each end?

I have a pair but not that long........10.5 inch Stainless

Edit: Id just replace the hose with a new full length one and not scab it together

Item 1 in link should work, or go to a scrap yard and pick up a piece of thin wall pipe

Genuine Mercury & Mercruiser parts. Standard Cooling System

thanks AllDodge, that was not the part but I did find it on that site. part # 860315A1

Was not the part? Appears to be the same part number, just is used to bypass the PS cooler instead of the cool fuel.

Yea same part # but under "notes" says "cut to 10.5 inches". The cool fuel tube is 13 " I ordered it, just have to wait and see what I get.

I've got a cool fuel tube, never used. If you want it,make me an offer.

Nothing spot the plastic tube already

I would buy an auto repair hose kit and a new 1 foot marine water hose for the splice plus 4 SS hose clamps --- and of course cut the hose to fit exactly. I have done that in the past. If I recall total cost was 18 bucks

Well that is a lot cheaper than the $80 I spent on the merc oem tube but it will be right and it has a drain cock.
