    Clear lines okay for fuel if – They’re rated for it. That’s what they’ve been
    using on snowmobiles the last 60 years.
    -If the clear line isn’t subjected to something
    very hot on the motor or excessive rubbing.
    Just guessing that the outboard manufactures
    use the heavy rubber fuel line as it’s "better"
    for those circumstances.

    I used a B&S fuel pump on my 1960 Fisherman.
    The number on my pump is 808492.

    Are the clear lines OK for fuel? I’ve never had any luck with plain hose, is there a better type?
