    Appreciated.
    So, now I put it together; I think the liner collapsed on me while on the lake. Not just the o-rings.
    I struggled to get it to fill the carb bowl, pumping away madly on the primer just to get back to the dock. Wouldn’t seem to draw fuel consistently. For some reason.
    I think I’m done w/ liners. I’ll see what else I can find, and post the results later.
    I’ve used a form of the plastic hose pictured in the link above, and it works great for lines under the hood. I don’t know that I’d want to use it for the external tank to motor line; too many sharp corners and other hazards, I’d guess.
    I’ll report back, if anything interesting happens.
    Many thanks;
    Alan
    PS, looks like O’reilly’s has Gates marine fuel hose; I’ll go see if it has a cruddy plastic liner. Even if it’s $100 and only sold in 25′ rolls. Seriously, I can hear mine crackle, when I move it. Loose!
