Feul overflow line needs replaced...HELP!

[smilinjboy]

I've got a '71 Newman tri-hull, it's either an Aquarius or DeVille by the length(18'), but I am not positive which. Everything was maintained in excellent condition by previous owner. Only thing wrong w/ it is some dry rot in the feul overflow line. There is no way that I can find to get through the hull to fix it. I can't even figure out if the gas tank is at the front/back/ or middle. Any ideas of how to repair the line? any ideas are much appreciated, Thanks!

Re: Feul overflow line needs replaced...HELP!

When you say "Fuel Overflow Line", are you refering to a line going to the fuel tank? Is it about a 5/8" ID hose? If so, that is the vent line to the fuel tank, not an overflow line.
Or are you refereing to the 1/4" ID clear hose that goes from the fuel pump to the carb? That is for fuel overflow from the fuel pump if it leaks internally.

It's a small black line right next the the feul line. It's dry rotted and when we fill w/ gas the small overflow line leaks. I think it goes back to the gas tank, but there's no access in the boats fiberglass hull, so I can't be sure.

No access plate to the pick-up and sender? Has to be.
