Fuel hose Assembly

[bigb56]

Where will I find the best fuel ine assembly for my Evinrude? I want a complete assembly compatible with ethanol blended fuels and no chintsy "Taiwan" parts.

Go to a BRP marine dealer for your hose but I think you'll find out that it's "made in China" or some other country. I myself go to Walley World and get an Attwood assembly which uses ethanl resistant hose. Haven't had any trouble with them yet. Good luck.

Re: Fuel hose Assembly

just from personal experience......the aftermarket "assembly's" are complete junk....dont waste your $$$. the connectors leak, the primer bulbs are sub standard. the hoses may be ok, but id still go with oem parts just so you dont go shopping twice. jmo

I agree with above. The aftermarket MAY work, but not as well nor as long as the OEM ones. The OEM ones are a bit more, but well worth the few extra bucks in my humble opinion.

I have gotten some ok ones from used tanks I have aquired, but also have gotten plenty of junk ones. I have never got a junk OEM one yet.

I was thinking of getting the six gallon "DuraTank" as well. Also, my present tank & fuel line seems to have the Mercury style connectors at the tanks end, any advantage to those?

None, just a different way of connecting to the tank.
