Someone on the tartan list suggested that the fitting may be re-used if
they are just barbed fittings with a crimped band.
I didn't really want to remove the old hose and leave the system open
but, It does seem the right thing to do. I think I may go with the
Trident Barrier type hose. I'll take one apart and measure the barbed
fitting.
Hopefully I can reuse the fittings with hose clamps. Then I can route
the line any way I see fit!

Except perhaps for the injector pump to cylinder hoses (which are

work fine.
A word of warning--these hoses are notorious for variations between
the OD and ID so do not assume that if your hose is marked 5/16" on
the outside that the inside diameter (ID)
will match your fittings.
Depending on your hose source, a 5/16" OD hose could have a variety of
IDs--some wall thicknesses are greater than others but this number
is often not noted on the outside of the hose.
If the hose is going on barbed fittings, some to this can be made up
by the hose clamps (double always IMHO). However, a thick-walled 5/16"
hose may never go over a 1/4" barb fitting.

Sounds like someone took the time to have hydraulic hoses made for
the purpose of carrying fuel. Yes, some bleeding on the supply side
will probably be needed. The air tends to collect in the tops of filters.

Thanks for chiming in guys. The lines currently are pre-made with
what look like flare fittings on the end. The hose is coveted in
some kind of sleeve that looks and geeks like fabric. They are
permeating pretty badly and making the whole boat smell like diesel.
I'm guessing there is more to replacing these houses than just
swapping them out. Some bleeding?
I see that 1/4 is stamped on the fitting. I'm sure that's
identifying size.

Danny,
If we’re talking about rubber fuel lines, yes, any lines that meet
the marine spec for the fuel you use (diesel or gas) will work.
Most rubber fuel hoses don’t use fittings, although I have seen
some premade one that do use crimped on fittings. More
information would be useful.

Hi guys,
I need to replace my 1/4 inch fuel supply and return lines.
Should I buy pre made fuel lines or could I just buy fuel hose and
fittings so I can cut to length?
What word be a good source fir fuel lines?
