Re: 3/8" Fuel Line To 1/4" Housing... Bad Idea?
If she were mine.... I would replace the fuel lines made from a different material while your at it.
why is that and with what?
So today, I tried to complete my winterizing process and was pretty much a failure.
I had a zerk in the inner side of my hub to grease my bearings. I think it's one of the surelube models. Anyways, I had issues with the grease gun and couldnt get enough grease out.
So I sent out to drain the gas tank instead using the fitting by the transom in the picture. Assuming the gauge is correct, there's roughly 10 gallons out of a possible 27 gallons in the tank. I managed to remove the hose from the nipple in the picture. And confirm it is 3/8". At least it looks like it. But to my eyes, the inner diameter looks to be a tad bit smaller though, but not much. But definately larger than 1/4".
I got a siphon tube and bulb from the auto shop to pump the gas out. But the hose fitting is too small for the nipple. I tried to warm it up the hose to soften it, but just too small. *sigh*
So pretty much all I got done today was confirm the gas line hose size.
But now what water separater should I get? I would like one where I can see the water at the bottom and can drain out. Great feature.
