The bad part of using the black auto parts fuel hose, is the black that rubs off on your hands after the hose is in the sun. But, it is cheap and will work fine. In my business, I have to install the correct EPA and Coast Guard rated fuel line for liability purposes. I always liked the old OMC [black] fuel line and primer bulb assemblies… maybe one could be found on e bay, perhaps a new old stock? You can also buy the Quicksilver [blue print] fuel line by the foot, for a pretty reasonable cost. Of course you still have to find a good primer bulb. I use Sea Choice brand primer bulbs. They are a Quicksilver bulb, repackaged for Sea Choice, who is owned by Brunswick. Those bulbs have the barrier lining and work very well… same part as an OEM Quicksilver, but cheaper in price.
I agree with Dan and Pappy, with regards to the fuel line connectors. OEM is the only way to go, with hose, or connectors for that matter.
