Iboats carries the coast Guard approved (gray) fuel line w/primer bulb as a complete unit. Not sure about what kind of connectors you need/have to hook up. Auto parts stores carry the standard black automotive type fuel hose. Personal preferance as to which you use (Coast Guard approved vs automotive). I've used both without any problems. The automotive hose is cheaper.

Pwnboat, Thanks for the reply! The only dry-rot or deterioration I?m seeing inside or outside of fuel line is the fuel line section I added in 1985 (to adapt a new primer bulb). No int problem vs ext cracks. I doubt it was rated as outboard quality vs the basic automotive quality. The original line looks and feels like plastic vs rubber. jow
