With regards to a good quality fuel line, I would suggest going with a Quicksilver. Don’t go out and buy a new old stock hose with the red print….. buy a new one with the blue print on the hose. Some dealers will sell it bulk by the foot, or you can buy it pre made with connectors. A word of advice, if you must install a connector to the new style line, I use a cup of very hot water [from the microwave] with the end of the hose inserted in the hot water first. This softens the hose so it will easily slide on. Otherwise you risk damaging the inner skin or barrier liner. This is the problem with the cheaper fuel line assemblies… the inner barrier callapses thus creating a fuel restriction.
