Since I have my boat torn apart I wanted to replace the fuel lines and that is when I learned that the existing high pressure line from the fuel pump to the fuel bar was not coast guard approved. The PO used rubber line. I am now looking for options of where to get an acceptable line. Talking to Skidim they do not have any that may work. I am not sure I can get one from the dealer as there were some issues with where the located the pump (not a Nautique- yes I know that is a mistake  ) but I am checking into it. Any suggestions of where I can find something that may work? I think I will need one made. Thanks |

Tom, What engine is it in the non CC?   If the fittings on the pump and bar are inverted flares (they should be), then pre flared brake from the auto supply may be your only choice if you can't find the OEM fuel line. The only hard parts to using the brake line is getting to correct length and then bending it. Some trial and error with the length would give anyone who hasn't bent tubing before some practice. A decent bender is needed and not one of those spring benders you insert the tubing into. They never did work anyway! ------------- /diaries/details.asp?ID=1622" rel="nofollow - 54 Atom /diaries/details.asp?ID=2179" rel="nofollow - 77 Tique 64 X55 Dunphy Keep it original, Pete < |

They have flexible high pressure lines that are coast guard approved. Sierra part. If you have a stock 351. I have one if anything else you could use it for what it should look like. Just a opinion but stock one has some tight bends ------------- Lakedog55 |
