Hello,

I have two more questions. The fuel line that runs through the transom to go to the tank is a real ***** to get to, I have the end where it connects to the tank but the end at the connector is impossible to get at. I was wondering if I could just use a connector and attach the new and old fuel line to go to the water separator? Also the oil line on the VRO tank isn?t in the best of shape, so I think I?m going to replace it. In the service and owners manual it says to pump the bulb until you see oil then connect it to the motor. My question is if the oil line is connected inside the motor, wouldn?t you just be pushing air into the VRO when you start it? It would make more sense to connect everything but leave it disconnected from the VRO until all the air is purged, and then connect it?

Thanks

I'm sure that that is what is intended.

Re: Dilemma

you are correct. and you are due a complete fuel line change, use the alcohol resistant lines, due to ethanol.
