If it's an 84 or newer it's for the oil line for the VRO.

The VRO oil line is special 1/4" oil hose, with a yellow stripe running along/down the side. Special 1/4" squeeze bulb, too.

I don't know about it being special I just replaced my sending unit hose and all with factory parts. No yellow line on it and just looks like regular 3/8 fuel line regular fuel line. 1986 70 hp evinrude.

If you have just bought this motor you may want to mix oil with the fuel at 50:1 until you are sure that mixing unit is working properly !

Most folks don't know that Bombardier makes special oil hose for the VRO tank. Not sure just how well fuel hose stands up to delivering oil over a long period of time...

What I bought was a factory BRP sending unit assembly complete with oil line no yellow stripe on it.
