I just bought two fuel bulbs recently and was impressed the cheaper of the two.

The first was Mercury OEM bulb that was not better than an Attwood off your local Wal-Mart shelf. The check valve only work when flow was positioned vertically and overall it just felt like cheap knock-off. The second was inexpensive by comparison to the Mercury replacement and was made by company called MARPAC. Great fuel bulb, positive vacuum regardless of its orientation and generally feels like it will standup over time.

teh mercury's used to be the bulb of choice, but I have heard simular complaints about teh mercury's lately and have heard good things about the BRP primer bulbs. Ferm, any opinion on the grey trident B1 Fuel hose, I've been selling a bunch of it lately, hope it holds up

I seem to replace a merc bulb every year. They function fine but the rubber dries and cracks. It may be that it will still hold up even with the cracks but I don't want to chance it.

I believe that's the same hose my HYDRA had on it that I had to replace when I went to E-10 fuel. I'm running some SHIELDS EFI marine hose on mine with really good results along with a BRP primer bulb.
