Went to Academy today to get a new 6 gallon gas tank and hose for my Evenrude I bought for my Jon boat . Decided to buy al new stuff since I am getting the carbs rebuilt . Not cheap . Tank was $59.00 and the gas line with the primer bulb was $48 . Plus $8.00 for the tank connector . Stopped and got 6 gallons of good VP racing fuel ethanol free gas . Got to Whitney , hooked it up and the connectors from the tan and hose leaks like a bitch. Did some reviews and it is a common problem with them .
Marine Raider Johnson Evinrude 0.38 in x 6 ft Fuel Line Kit. I called and at least they said I can get my money back . Just sucks that we have to pay good money now days for China Junk ! You would think Acadamy would at least look at this as a safety issue .
I looked on Amazon and no good reviews on any gas lines at all . I'm going to call Charlies in Alvarado and have Keith make me a good one .
May your wiener schnitzel always stay above your lederhosein.

Bit the gas makes such pretty colors when it hits the water.

Interesting. I redid mine 3 years ago. I bought an Attwood assembly which is still a budget brand, but its been working fine. I thought Academy sold Attwood also. Anyway, I think it came with the pump and quick disconnect, then I had to buy the "fuel demand valve" separate along with some barbed connecters and some hose clamps. No leaks whatsoever.

Got some good fuel line injection hose and made my fittings and pump ball fro Ace Harware . Twice as good for around 40 bucks for all . And no leaks !

Heard good things about Charlie’s . Does a good job and is reliable but It’s on the high side from my understanding but I can’t speak from personal experience. Good luck
