JEM, I saw that looking up parts, I guess maybe mine came with a rubber hose for some reason. I like the metal sheathed one better but I'm just going with what I have now since I'm trying to squeeze every weekend in sailing until haulout...maybe next year.

After having a beer about it I thought to lengthen the hose, so now it hangs down 6 inches at the bottom of the bend instead of the original 3". The extra length absorbs the bend and doesn't stress the hose.

> Hi everyone, I replaced all my fuel line on my 1999 3GM30F...when I tried to bend the fuel line between the lift pump and secondary filter into the required U shape it starts to flatten out on the sharp bend, is this a formed hose? If so anyone have the part number?
