I just purchased a 10' length of dual line hose for the pressurized tank for my '57 Fastwin.

What length of hose typically came originally on these Cruis-A-Day 6 gallon tanks?

Thanks

I think the orginal lenth was 6 foot, but as wilde1j said, 10 feet is not a problem.

I had a 69 9.5 and ran the hose 12' and never had a problem as long as your rise isn't alot it can do the distance.

The original hose on a 6 gallon pressure tank was pretty long. Certainly more than 6ft. Probably more like 12 feet. I know it was long enough to put the tank in the front of a 14' boat

I know the 10' length wouldn't be a problem as it allows flexibility in placement of the tank. The original hose mine came with was shorter but may have been trimmed by the previous owner. My boat is a 14' tiller and I keep the tank just in front of the stern seat so I may trim to 6'.
