How bad is this
How bad is it to leave it like this until I can sort this out. I mean is the risk big or small. I understand that you want a steel line because you do not want it to rupture. If the hose is new can I assume that it will be ok at least for a couple of weeks?

All Rubber
I would love to use just rubber line. The local Volvo dealer said that it was not "legal". I do not understand what that means. Can the Coast Guard fine you if the line is not steel.
Does the risk of fuel leak increase dramatically? Is the steel line story just paranoia?

they will actually approve up to 18" of flex line if the fittings are approved(flare type). You should be able to find an inverted flare adaptoer at a good auto parts store, But I wouldn't screw with it till you replace that carb with a marine one, You're probably going to have to remake the line anyway. you should be ok for while with double clamped marine grade A1 line

Not owning an I/O
Shouldn't it be rubber (approved) hose from the tank to the fuel pump, then hard pipe to the carb with a fuel filter inbetween, connected with short rubber hoses?
Or am I missing something?? The line where the rubber hose is should carry a fuel filter, some have different size inlet and exit nipples. Having a water seperator between the tank and fuel pump should be installed also. Ya'll help correct me............................
