5/32 inch or 3/16 inch fuel line? 1986 60 hp Johnson

I think the lines that run to the carburetters call for 5/32 inch?

none of the auto supply houses around has the size. My local marine supplier is abysmal for anything.

Could I get away with 3/16 inch fuel line? I’m afraid to make the assumption. I don’t want fuel leaks or vacuum leaks

difference is 1/16 or 1/32 each side of the ID try a clamp

I tried using 3/16 for carburetor feeds.----Persistent leaks.----Bought 5/32 line along with factory tywraps meant for hose.

Excellent, thank you. This is what I was worried about. I will definitely buy some 5/32” line. I didn’t know they were specialty ties also
