USCG Approved Fuel Lines

[LouDoo]

FYI. I bought a new outboard motor for the pontoon this year, a 4-stroke 90hp Merc. The shop that installed the new motor also installed new fuel line from the tank to the motor. The old line circa 2006 had deteriorated much like the grey tempo fuel lines on SeaDoo's.

So all this time I had been cursing BRP for using cheap fuel lines, turns out that this is a common problem. The mechanic installed more CG approved fuel line, he was required to, but told me it should be changed every 3-4 years. It's the ethanol in the gas that is dissolving the glue.

BTW, love the new motor, plenty of power (moved up from a 55hp 2-stroke) and is a real gas sipper.

Just thought you guys would want to know.

If that truly is the problem, how come we arent all changing fuel lines in our cars every few years?

 

[LouDoo]

I guess cause our cars don't use USCG approved fuel lines. He gave me the old fuel line it had blue goo much like the green goo I found in my ski.

I work at a GM dealership and there were problems when they started putting ethanol in gasoline.

Hi Jake,

I talked to your sister, she told me that once she gets released her price is going up from 5.00 to 7.50. I called her a 2 bit hooker and she hit me over the head with a bag of quarters.

BTW, the family price is still 5.00.

Lou,
she said that once she saves up enough quarters she is going to have the sex change undone, because you told her you are starting to feel a little weird about the whole thing. Said she'll go back to playing tight end for Cleveland.

I didn't know Cleveland had a pro football team.

Lou,

Yea, kind of ironic they would put the pro football Hall of Fame so close to Cleveland They should move it to Pittsburgh !!!

Bad news on my sister, she won't be getting early release from prison afterall because after I read your post yesterday I found out that she wasn't really giving me the family discount all these years, so I'm now refusing to testify at her parole hearing as a character reference. I have to give my brother a call and see what rate he was getting.

I subscribed to that website where you can trace your family tree. So far I haven't found any branches. The nice thing is whenever someone in the family gets married, they get a discount on the church rental because we only use one side of the church. Plus, family reunions are a great place to meet chicks. The really cool news is I was tracing brith certificates on that website, and I'm pretty sure that you may be my younger brother that my parents gave up for adoption. There was just not enough room for you in the car we were living in at the time.
