Ok guys 1983 FORCE 85 HP, i just finished replacing the Fuel Pump diaphram (easy as pie) and when i pumped the bulb the check for leaks around the fuel pump I noticed that their was gas leaking around the fitting to the tank. So I assume that this might be causing fuel delivery problems as air getting in the line. I have not had any issues as of late but sometimes the bulb doesnt stay hard and she dies on me. Since the motor and boat are older and the fuel line is probably original, i want to replace the whole thing. I have read that people go cheap and have trouble with the bulb and hose so i wanted your recomendations on what i should buy. The following is the most expensive that Iboats sells so if price indicates quality do you think it would work? See link, Thanks as usual guys. :D

Re: Replacing fuel line

If im right marine fuel line is thicker and made better than automotive rubber fuel line for safety reasons.
