fuel lines
for peace of mind, and ethanol related issues, I replaced EVERY rubber hose/line on the boat today and all stainless steel clamps. Changed all filters, plugs and FINALLY sleeved all the lines into a new shop vac hose. I did not want to cut the hose down the middle [which of course would be a lot easier] so I disconnected both wires from the starter, wire for trim button, oil line, gas line, the large 10 or 12 pin wire [?] and a smaller 5 or 6 pin wire[?] pulled them one at a time through the vac hose. Came out great. I did leave the gas line OUTSIDE the vac hose....you need access to that one every so often. The punchline is that I went to the H. Cheap-o to buy the hose.....19.99, right next to the hoses is the Rigid 5hp 12 gallon shop vac on sale....27.00. So I grab the new vacuum for 8.00 more [duh].I get home and open the box....the hose and all related parts are missing. I go back to the store w/ receipt, the manager opens another box and gives me all the parts. I get back home and do the work on the boat. Now I'm putting away all tools and stuff, I open the lid or top of the shop vac and inside the canister are all the items I thought was missing. Oh well, I am an honest person by all accounts.....but not this time. The Depot has fouled me on more than one occasion over the last several years so this one is in Phesters favor ;D
