I hate those "plastic" gas hoses that come pre packaged because they seem too stiff. I went to the hardware to get some soft rubber hose to build a spare and the hose they had on a spool was stiff and like plastic. Is this the normal these days, or can a person still get some decent hose somewhere?
Try auto parts store. Thats where i got mine.
I have the GOOD hose at the store.

Whatever you get make sure it's ethanol compatible.
What he said, but try not to use ethanol peroid.Quote:

The stiff gray plastic hose is designed to not breakdown when used with ethynol in gas- which most is nowdays. I guess only time will tell !!
Thanks for all the input. Sure would like to have a spare in the boat before too long.
Go to any auto parts store and buy "auto" rubber fuel line. It won't crack in the cold or get stiff.... use hose clamps to connect to your bulb and motor and tank fittings....
Think about it, does the gas line on an auto get hard and crack in the cold? no.... I don't know why they make boat tank gas lines out of that stiff plastic.. maybe so you have to buy more each year or two when they crack...

If you buy a current EPA compliant "fuel line", there will be an inline check valve or something to that effect as all new plastic fuel tanks come without a pressure release valve. And the tanks are now double the price they were 2 years ago BTW.
Go to the parts store
