Here’s a new one (just when you think you’ve seen it all). Was having trouble getting fuel from my tanks (I have 2 six gal portable tanks) to the 60horse. Was having to pump the bulb and couldn’t run it wide open or it would bog. Checked the fuel pump diaphragm and such. Didn’t think it was an e10 prob as I turn over the tanks pretty regularly but I thought I might as well replace the lines and the bulb. Well here’s what the cross section of the line showed. The inner lining of the line had caved in on itself (and it was even worse in other areas) over probably 5ft of the line. Imagine the flow restriction. Amazing…
we see it all the time
shain, just a heads up, “Shields” is making a new grey hose that is rated for ethanol, but you are right, all the old grey stuff will come apart on the inside.
I try to do that in all our service pictures, not only for advertising, but also to claim ownership, and scale, because some pics dont have hands in them
So, what is the best hose to buy for replacement? I have some gray hose that I put on a year or so back, but I’m seeing little black stuff in my water separator filter when I change it. Don’t know about the hose from the tank to the filter; it came with the 2002 KW.
