Purty much anywhere...try a NAPA or any decent parts house..just specify you want an ethanol safe line and check the packaging.

A Merc guy that I know suggests standard 5/16" automotive line.

If it is not marked and labeled Alcohol Resistant.....it can cause you problems later on if your using gas with ethenol.

I had to make sure my facts were straight. Automotive fuel line is alcohol resistant. It's been alcohol resistant for many years. It's not "officially" approved for marine use because it isn't as fire resistant and it doesn't have the same UV standards. But, it's probably safest to get something that says it's made specifically for boat motors.

yep, the boat motor "stuff" is made for sun exposure whereas the automotive is not or so I've been told!
