Besides West Marine ($$$$$), who has good prices on black rubber fuel lines, connectors, s/s clamps, etc? In particular, I’m replacing some fuel lines inside an old 5hp johnson: 0311460 and 0311461 per diagram (from a 68 but same hoses) with “ethanol friendly” versions:
Maybe one of you know the size hoses I need…
For that motor, I would just get some from an auto store. I’m sure all fuel hose is alcohol resistant now, just not “USCG-approved”.
You’d think that,but change it out with the gray line and make sure it says CG approved and save yourself a bunch of headaches later.

Ok, more info I think, small one is 5/16" ID, other is 5/32" (or 3/16" ok?) ID.
That should be a bit easier on the supplier to find.
RE: That “gray line” - an earlier/older set of gray was not ok for ethanol, but recent product is from what I’ve seen.
Not sure about the internal engine use of the gray lines, is that ok too? I’ll try an auto place, for the s/s clamps too.
Easier found on the way home to James Island.
