Fuel/air hose recommendation

[skanders01]

Need to replace the old fuel/air lines on my old OMC pressure tanks. Want to buy in bulk, and unless there is a reason to buy "connected/dual" lines, I have a lot of zip ties if the dual line is significantly higher priced. I assume both air & fuel lines are/can be the same. Any recommendations for a mfgr/source for about 25′ (tot) of new hose?

Thanks,

Well….it is sold by Sierra as part #18-8051. Typically sold by the foot. Here’s an e-bay search to get you started…..

I buy the hose in the 50 foot rolls myself. However, prices just went up again on them. Its getting silly now.

If you don’t care about it being totally original, just buy 25′ of 3/16" fuel line, cut it in half and have a finished product of 12′ or so.available just about anywhere. You can zip tie/black electrical tape together, or heat shrink tubing makes it look pretty fancy. A lot cheaper than buying the Sierra line.

Where do you typically buy 3/16 fuel line? At a dealer,princess auto, car quest? I have purchased the NOS but I find that stuff cracks easily and is getting hard with age. i would rather use electrical tape and have good trustworthy fuel hose when out on the lake

instead of tape that is effected by gas use shrink tube.

Check with Amazon.ca as occasionally they have dual line and other stuff like impellers with plates and seal kits on for cheap with free shipping. This stuff just doubled in price after I bought the last roll being sold by Amazon.

As of 2/2/2017 BuRP price is $4.99 foot P/N 772566. 18-8051 is the Sierra P/N @ $3.21 FT.

It pays to shop around a bit. The Amazon stuff worked out to $1.04 CDN per foot plus some tax. That’s 79¢ US. The only drawback is the waiting time for delivery.

That is WELL below cost Mumbles, very good deal. I have a Sierra account an my cost is much more than that.

Mumbles, The Amazon link shows $110.68, but didn’t see the length, 50 feet I’m guessing?
Is there another link to the $51.96 price?

Would that hose be the lined stuff?
