its not the main fuel line and is conecteed to a little tube on he upper side of the pump right? if so i should connect to the flame arrestor, as it is a fuel return in case the pump breaks and starts overflowing, instead of leaking to the bilge, it will out it in the carb..... ------------- <a href="">1992 ski nautique |

it also acts as a vent and if clogged the pump will not work properly, it actually will breath in and out with the diaphram on the pump ------------- "the things you own will start to own you" |

| Can this line be hooked up anywhere else? Like the Carb? That's where I have mine running to. |

| If you have fuel in the clear line, you probably have a bad fuel pump. |
