I wasn't sure if this should go in the engine specific forum or the resto forum.
I'm going to be installing a below deck fuel tank for my 120 Mercruiser in my '68 Holiday V. Last year I installed a new fill hose for the above deck steel tank which became a source of many problems. I decided to put in a below deck aluminum fuel tank to eliminate the rust issue. I had purchased the tank for my previous project on an OB boat and I had purchased enough fill hose for that project but that hose is just long enough to meet up with the fill hose for the previous tank if I could attach them both to a 90 degree elbow. I am guessing that it would need to be brass or stainless and it would definitely need to be barbed.
The important question is am I violating a safety reg by not using a continuous length of hose?
I did a search and came up empty. Can anyone turn me on to a link for a 1.5" barbed union or prefferably a a 1.5" barbed 45 or 90 elbow. 90 is the real preference but I'll settle for a 45.
Thanks in advance.
