Post Where to get fuel line
Planning to move my fuel tank up front. Have seen some picture with boats that have a blue line running up to motor is that the fuel line? Either way, where are yal getting your 20ft of fuel hose at? Local autoparts? Thanks

Boatdr sells ethanol resistant fuel line pretty cheap. I think he buys it in 1000' rolls.

Post Re: Where to get fuel line
I will say this about fuel line size it might start an argument but here it is. Boat came to me with stage two motor guy had to add an electric fuel pump then he started having problems again with it. He was running 3/8 line so I switched it all out to 1/4 and did away with the electric pump and just ran the stock pump motors running great and hasn't had anymore issues. Makes me think something with the stock fuel pump need to pull presure instead of volume. I would go with the eathonal line especially if you boat sets up a lot. If you run it a lot reguler fuel line is fine.

Any local marine store or outboard shop. Just bring plenty of money. It's not cheap.

Got mine at advanced. Just had them cut it off the spool. I'm running 1/4 in line and I always use stabil marine ( ethanol treatment ) everything I fill up. Ethanol treatment and stabilizer in one.

Just my experience

So 1/4" should do, where around Lafayette could I find it? Went to a couple auto parts places but all they had was some black hose. West marine has some also but not the blue.

I use the black stuff and don't have any problem. I use ethanol treatment so it doesn't get in the lines to do damage.

Black automotive is good. Actually I think its better than the marine line. How many cars and trucks do you see having problems with their fuel lines. I know yall going to say they don't sit like a boat, but I have a truck that will sit 8 months at a time and no problems. Had marine fuel line go bad in 2 years.

I got the blue ethanol "PROOF" fuel line at mikes marine in broussard la. It was cheaper than all the automotive places. 2 dollars and something cents per foot as O'reilly wanted 5 something a foot.
