Title: cleaning fuel tank
Post by: Gary Ambrose on April 13, 2006, 06:14:40 PM

Prior to removal and tank cleaning I will be draining fuel at the fuel pump outlet tomorrow. Can anyone tell me the ID of the fuel lines so that I can pick up a three foot section on the way to the boat yard.

Many thanks.

Mine was 3/8", the return was smaller.

Gary : The fuel line from the tank to the engine is a 3/8". The return line is 5/16" and the line from the last "banjo" to the fuel return is 1/4". Ron

Thanks Ron. All went well using a 3" section of 3/8's fuel line from the fuel pump to portable tanks. Tomorrow my son and I will disconnect and remove the tank and bring it home for cleaning. Reinstall is scheduled for Sunday.
