Fuel Fill Hose | Boating Forum

Hi everyone.I have a quick question.My fuel fill hose is leaking,noticed it on my first time out in my new to me boat.I filled the tank,and smelled alittle fuel after we got it in the water.( Thompson Del Ray 18FT 400ci Chevy w/Pre alpha drive) I turned the blower on,and kept it on for awhile after we were under way,gas gauge dont work either.After we ran out of gas,and paddled into shore,we got a few 6 gallon cans of fuel,and filled the boat again while it was sitting in the water,thats how i knew the fuel fill hose was leaking,as it filled the bilge up with gas.My question is,do i have to pull the floor out to change that hose,is it fastened down? I already bought the new fill hose from this site,I purchased 2 Ten foot sections,just wondering if there is an easier way to do it.I already purchased a new sending unit,hoping that will fix my gauge problem.

Series 350/355/369 Fire-Acol Fuel Fill & Vent Hose, Sold ...

Fuel fill hose and fuel tank vent hose that will stand up to ethanol

MIC are exported all over the world and different industries with quality first. Our belief is to provide our customers with more and better high value-added products. Let's create a better future together.

With the increased use of ethanol in gasoline have come issues in fuel hoses. Ethanol&#;s volatile properties will breakdown conventional fuel hoses over prolonged periods of exposure. Shields Series 350/355/369 hoses were designed to stand up to ethanol blended fuels that can remain in the fill hose or vent line after filling up. Series 350 and 355 hoses are abrasion resistant and are best suited for fuel fills. A wire helix between plies of HD synthetic cord reinforces these hoses while maintaining their ability to make tight radius bends. The 369 Series hose provides the same ability to stand up to ethanol blended fuels but is better for fuel tank vent applications. The smaller diameter and excellent flexibility make easy work of installations with limited space. Available in common sizes for fuel tank, oil tank, and tank vent installations these hoses are sold by the foot so that you can pick up only the length you need.
