Old Merc Fuel Lines

[rdcj67]

I recently purchased a 1969 50 horse Merc.,and it is need of fuel lines from the pump to the carb. These guys are expensive from the dealer,can someone tell me where I can get aftermarket, or can I replace them with a couple of barbed fittings and common fuel line? Thanks in advance.<br />DC

I would just use common fuel line that you can pick up from an auto parts store.<br /><br />Tack the word "marine" on something and the price goes through the roof! <br /><br />I paid $60.00 for a Distributor cap!!

Thanks, I have not pulled the lines yet, but was not sure if that would work since the stock lines are made like hydraulic lines. Much appreciated !!

Get yourself some brass NPT fittings in the appropriate angles and configurations, some compatible fuel line, some good hose clamps and you're back in business!<br />- Scott

That is what I was lookin' for !! I figured some ends would have to be changed out !<br /><br />Keep the shiney side up and the greasy side down !!

Yeah, I replaced my fuel lines on my 76 Merc with regular ol' auto fuel line hose. I think I bought it at AutoZone for $.75 a foot.
