fuel line for diesel boat

[IslandStyle]

Guys, quick question I have a new to me boat that I would like to redo the fuel line. I have source some fuel line I am being told it is good for Diesel fuel and has 250 psi rating and good up to 200 degrees. This is my first exp with a diesel boat. Can anyone let me know if this hose would work? They call it Easy Couple with built in braid? I am sourcing it from a local hydraulic supply house in town. I am using it for the vent line, fuel fill line and to supply the 6BT.

Thanks JD

Look at the attached picture.. Don’t get complicated.. This is the “spec” you want to use……..

Very common, easy to get and cheap.. For a 6 BT 5.9, 3/8″ for supply and 1/4″ for the return is fine..–Use can use barb fittings & hose clamps or PUSH-On fitting & SAE /JIC flare fittings for un-inspected vessels
