Sierra 18-8115 Fuel Line Hose, 3/8 Inch x 25 Inch PTFE Composite, Fuel Pump to Carburetor Connection
The Sierra 18-8115 Fuel Line Hose is a PTFE composite fuel line built for the fuel pump to carburetor connection on carbureted marine engines. It replaces the copper or steel tubing originally used in this run, giving you a flexible, corrosion-resistant alternative that is easier to route and install between the pump and carburetor.
The hose measures 3/8 inch by 25 inches and is fitted with a 5/8"-18 male inverted flare straight fitting on one end and a 5/8"-18 90 degree fitting on the opposite end, matching the original fitting orientation so the line drops into place without additional bending or fabrication. The PTFE composite construction is built to meet SAE J1527 Type A1 certification, the standard for fuel-resistant, fire-safe marine fuel hose. The white-finish hose has a nominal wall thickness of 1 millimeter and an outside diameter of 9.5 millimeters.
As a Sierra part, the 18-8115 is engineered to meet or exceed the original equipment part it replaces and is backed by Sierra's Customer Satisfaction Warranty against defects in workmanship and materials for the useful life of the product.
