I’ll add my two cents and strongly suggest that owners of outboards buy OEM fuel line connectors, even though they cost a bit more. Been there, done that with cracked o-rings.
Like many, I recently bought an aftermarket fuel line and after reading the article about the liner coming loose, pitched it ($) and bought fuel line from my local boat dealer. It’s gray, and it has a liner (EPA permeation standards at work here) but the dealer indicated that it is what they use for all boats, regardless of size or HP, and that the liner was not a problem. They knew exactly what I was talking about when I told them about the loose liner in the aftermarket line. Warning: I paid $3 a foot. Cheap insurance, in the end.
