Re: Merc fuel lines

[sailor58]

I ended up going here. http://fittingsandadapters.com/. I was able to buy all the fittings and ferrules from them. Came to $35 shipped. I bought 6′ of 1/4" fuel line from my local auto parts store for $10. I changed Mercury’s proprietary and NLA disconnectable fittings to SAE 45 degree flare fittings. I made a swaging fixture to crimp the ferrules. The fixture uses two removable dies that I made also. If I could figure out how to post pictures I would post some. I think that I would have changed to the flare fittings anyway as they are a better system. There was ample evidence that the Mercury fittings had been leaking.
