1991 Bluefin/Spectrum 19.6 Gas tank problem

[Bluefin91]

Does anybody know what type of 1/2 inch ID fuel line can be used on the inside of a inboard / outboard gas tank? It is for the pickup and vent hookup. I don't know if regular fuel line will work.

Are you talking about the short down line to the pickup? Is there something wrong with it? From your other thread:

 

[Bluefin91]

Yes the short line, Its cracked. I was thinking about using nitrile hose,

Below deck you should use USCG approved fuel lines only rated J1527 low permeation.

This is an internal tank hose. I'm not sure an external hose would last submerged in gasoline and the outside may deteriorate.

Can't add a pic from Bluefin's other thread to show what he's working with.

 

[Watermann]

Oh ok, I understand he need the in tank fuel line, yeah the one I posted won't work in a tank.

This stuff should.

That is much better if BF can find the correct size. I didn't look at sizes, but it's made for inside a tank. Thanks for finding that WM.

Heck yeah no problem. The pic didn't come trough you posted but I can see it now, that old line looks like polyethylene.

Thanks for all the responses, I did find a gas 1/2 inch id submersible hose on a e---. It is a gates Barricade hose 27342. Its actually a fuel injection hose that can be totally submersed in gas. $10 a foot. Just enough for the lengths I need. It was really hard to find a 1/2 inch ID for some reason.
