Response to The rebuild update (kinda long)

Bill, you said: "Gas line from filter to pump and pump to carb is rubber. Should be copper right?" Was probably copper originally, but rubber is OK and meets code as long as it is USCG Type A (has a red stripe printed on the hose, and about every foot it is ID'ed as USCG Type A). Also be aware that you cannot use a rigid fuel line (copper) between engine and boat structure -- that section is required to be flexible. We removed most the copper fuel lines on our boat (all except for a section feeding the genset) and replaced with the above rubber fuel lines. Our copper lines had been tapped into to add a third fuel tank, and otherwise modified such that our fuel supply plumbing was a rats-nest of fittings and tubing, with plenty of unnecessary opportunities for fuel or air leaks. Best wishes, Curt... --- 1967 fiberglass 38' Chris Craft Commander Sportfisher with twin 427 CID 300 HP engines.
