Hey Guys

I'm trying to find 1.5" ID 90 and 45 degree hoses for my fuel tank. Everything I find says not for marine use. What gives? These are the factory hoses on my boat. Is this a new thing? Looks like they need to be compliant to USCG A1-15 R1. But it looks like only straight hose is. Not sure what to do.

Thanks

Scott

I've never seen molded fuel fill hose for marine use but Sierra Marine has a hose that they call "extra flexible" https://www.iboats.com/shop/shields-fire-acol-c-fuel-fill-hose-a2-1-1-2-x10-116-351-1123.html

Never scene or heard of molded marine filler hose.
Fuel hoses get hard and stiff as they age. The new hose will be very flexiable and pliable.
