HEY GARY, how's life treating you since the big move...how's the new CHECKMATE ???post some pic's...

[Robby321]

it's pretty obvious to tell, pull apart connection at barb and look inside hose, you will see that the inner liner has been pushed back seperating from the outer hose, it will clog up line and obstruct flow, look at more than one connection to be shure...the older the hose the greater the chance, mine was brand new, less than a month old with fuel thru it...

Yup, the problem is that inner liner has no stretch at all and it's not bonded to the outer hose, so any pressure when installing and it just slides in and wads up inside the line. A hell of a improvement right? Freaking joke,

Go to NAPA and ask for the Gates fuel injection line.
Good to 225 PSI and resistant to any fuel.
You get what you pay for.

Yup thats what I use for my 3/8 line-- for smaller motors with 1/4 or 5/16 I use the colored transparent line used in the small engine industry. Then again I go to the airport and buy 91eth. free fuel and ad additives to that. Gary

had a box of the sierra with the plastic liner and I first hand saw what happens to it when you try to install over a barb the inner plastic liner comes loose and plugs up flow .I threw it in the garbage

YES! The ONLY way to stick a barbed fitting in it is to hit the belt sander, and sand off the barbs smooth, clamp and a "hope and a prayer", it works. Kinda funny me, as I have NEVER had any problem fuel lines in my LIFE! BUT? Also never had to by any new anyway last 20 years (3/8ths anyway) as had a good 200 feet. Smaller like 5/16ths, 1/4 for the small stuff? Seems anything needed if I don't have anyway was just fine. Also zero prob ETH me..(so far anyway). But on the 3/8ths hose me? Long ago at still "working", there we used it for anything. Air lines, Gas, Hydraulic lines, name it and zero problems. Heck, I ran compressor air lines it..(screw the PVC pipe crap) all over the shop with QD's ends and simple push in and forget sharp barbed fits the lines. EMT clamps to hold the lines where needed. Simple, cheap, and works fine 20 YEARS me fine, with ZERO probs!

Also been using it for 3/8ths gas lines to the day, and NO PROBS!

Heres whats on the hose..(I still got plenty left, and yes..NFS!) "Dayco-3/8" ID 300 PSI max WP-4.A O-de-MSHA 2G-20C Flame resistant" Of course this was made before the EPA idiots decided to "save the world". And to tell ya the truth, I've used Harbor Freight "air hose" for gas lines too, and no problem. Also clear smaller ID plastic hose for gas meant for say "Fridge Ice maker lines" and it works fine, just turns yellow and stiff.

Do what ya want, but now I put a inline gas filter in anyway.

Kids anything "NEW and IMPROVED? HA! The new "snake oil magic travailing trailer show is in town!".............I mean come ON

Who came up with the idea gas fumes are leaking out fuel rubber lines and destroy the earth as we know it? "We need to fix this massive problem!"

My take here? Got a shop town who does Hydraulic "stuff". They got they hose ya need thats proven, and EPA aint got there face in it either to screw it up.

Also should add here any doing SS braided lines for whatever. The same "inner liner" is there too..(or use too, as none done lately as did one my HD all SS braided oil lines, but not AN fits, smoothed barbs and simple hose clamped, as little oil pressure.

My think here? SKIP the boat/ auto crap stores. Go find a shop that does "Hydraulic stuff"

[Mr. Demeanor]

This is what the E10 does to the inner liner. When you start finding little pieces of amber material in your fuel filter you know what it is now.

Yep!

[mach351]

I've been running Parker Push-Lok hose for years now. I've put non eth, E10, and even dabbled with E85 going through it, and have never had an issue. It's easy to work with, cut, and is available from summit and jegs....great stuff.

[mrcrsr]

also, the thick black marine a1 fuel line(the stuff used in inboards) carries a 200 psi rating and is readily available

[dwilfong]

I'm a hydraulic mechanic now for 30 years. I have a Parker hose crimper on the truck and different hoses with all the fittings I need.
Have replaced more hoses and know what is what more than most.
The gates hose at NAPA is all you need. Just ask for the fuel injection hose it has green letters on it.
Don't have to go to the Parker store or any other hydraulic store to get fuel line.
It is not that complicated!

[mr fun]

But wait, our government just said they had no evidence of damage from the marine side.

Thank you EPA!

think you can trust the government, just ask an Indian
