I have an 86 mercury outboard on a small runabout. I decided it would be good maintenance to replace the fuel tank and hoses since some hoses were starting to crack. Bought a tank and a 3/8 ID fuel line assembly. Tried to install it today and realized I forgot about the oil injector. No problem right? Just need to by some more fuel line. Well, it was at this point I realized the boat is set up with 1/4 ID line. The fittings on the oil injector are 1/4 ID and dont appear to be replaceable. I checked the west marine catalog and it seems like every mercury fitting they have is for a 3/8 line. Furthermore, they dont even have 1/4 line listed in the catalog.<br /><br /> So here are the questions: Is there anyway to set this up with 3/8 line? Does anyone have any suggestions on how to deal with the fittings on the oil injector? Is there a way to step down the diameter for the oil injector only? Would that cause any problems?<br /><br />Thanks in advance for any input.
