Restoring stiff twin fuel lines?

[todd281]

I am wondering if anyone has a magic elixir ,or fix, for fuel line that has gotten stiff through age. I have several twin line, pressure tanks. The lines are not leaking, but have gotten quite stiff. Before I replace them with the costly new stuff, I was hoping someone would have some advise. Thanks

I don’t know if there is any magic elixir.. besides, replacing 65 year old fuel line, in my opinion, would be the correct path.

Replace the line! There is no other fix. If the fuel line breaks in the boat and the pressure line doesn’t, you have messy, oily, dangerous, gas spraying into the boat.

I thought as much, its just that sometimes the people here come up with some pretty fantastic ideas and fixes . Things I would not think of. Looks like i’ll be ordering some new line . Maybe that 50′ roll. Thanks
