When you install a new fuel line do you put a little grease or oil on the fitting to help
install that connector or hose bib to the line?? thanks, old jim

A little bit of lubrication always makes it go in easier.

About a month ago the siphon in the gas tank broke off. Son held the fuel line in the filler cap
and we got back to the slip. Had to go to 2 shops to get a new siphon, PIA. Pulled the toon
last Friday, wasn't the best summer we have had, but next summer will get here sooner or later.
Regards, old jim

lubrication will make it slip off as easy as it made it slip on.

My Admiral likes that she gets to take advantage of my 4 stroke!

West Marine has a new fuel line unlike the glossy grey stuff with the clear liner that eventually seperates and
causes all kinds of problems. old jim
