This is a tread for what I found and use for fuel lines for my fuel tanks. I use a fire resistant fuel line clamped directly to the tank with no snap on fitting and have it long enough to just reach outside the opening at the stern where it is hooked to the bulb and filter before snapped to the outboard. Does anyone else use the fire resistant fuel lines?

I'm not sure i would know a fire retardant fuel line if I saw one. Both of mine are labeled for fuel use and have Evinrude connections to the motor and are clamped on the tank.

It is a bit larger in diameter and is labled as fire retardant. Because I cruise a lot on a 79 C25 with my tanks inside the dribble of the fittings when changing tanks is dangerous. Bought a Tempo tank and the line was attached directly to the tank so I got the idea. The fittings have O rings which do crack over time so by reducing one at the tank worked. I use only steel tanks that are strapped inside and a marine exhaust fan which is used before starts or the need for fresh air. The fire-retardant fuel line is series 355/360 USCG and NMMA approved (WM on p611 2007 catalog). Because of the year of my boat and the design problems which include the gate valves for thru hull sink drains I wanted to share my upgrades with the new owners of the older models especially for the safety issues.
