Re: Fuel system questions. Clear sticky residue? Plus line fabrication q’s

[DAN ANDERSON]

That is all I use! Gates hose if I can find it. Just black fuel hose. It won’t last as long in the sun, but when it cracks you will know it’s time to change it anyway.
Anywhere below decks is suppose to be burn proof (certain amount of time) before it burns thru. Coast Guard approved. This is a larger bulky hose. Most of us run open boats that don’t require this, hopefully? I use an OEM primer bulb BRP, Mercury, or Yamaha only. The after markets bulbs are junk! This after market inner liner hose has been around for a long time. It isn’t getting any better from what I can tell. It causes a lot of problems in all applications. If you buy some take the time to take it back! Demand warranty! The manufacter knows it’s junk. They will warranty it. It has been recalled more than once. Just took back 100′ roll where I fell for it again. New & improved! It’s still junk! Silver, blue, all junk! Just my opinion I may be wrong?
