Sierra Silverado 4000 Outboard Fuel Line - Available in 5/16" and 3/8" ID, 10' to 50' Lengths
The Sierra Silverado 4000 Outboard Fuel Line is a marine-grade fuel hose built for above-deck primer bulb fuel line applications on outboard-powered boats. It meets SAE J1527 Type B1-15 and is EPA and CARB compliant, and it is resistant to ethanol-blended fuels, making it a safe choice for modern pump-blend gasoline. Construction uses a THV barrier layer to block fuel permeation, a Nitrile jacket, polyester reinforcement for strength, and a weather- and UV-resistant CPE cover. The gray cover is designed to keep the hose cooler and helps prevent vapor lock in the fuel line. This hose is not fire retardant, so it is intended for above-deck use rather than below-deck engine compartment routing.
The Silverado 4000 line is offered in two inside diameters, 5/16 inch and 3/8 inch, so it covers the fuel line sizing used across a wide range of outboard fuel systems. Each diameter is available in multiple put-up lengths, from a 10 foot polypac coil for smaller repairs to 25 foot and 50 foot cartons for larger installations, rigging shops, and multi-boat fleets.

Sizes & Options
First pick the inside diameter that matches your boat's existing fuel line or primer bulb fitting, 5/16 inch or 3/8 inch. Then choose the length you need: the 10 foot option ships as a coiled polypac, ideal for a single repair or short run, while the 25 foot and 50 foot lengths ship as reel-off cartons suited to full rigging jobs or stocking multiple repairs. Every size and length uses the same Silverado 4000 construction, so performance and compliance are identical across the line.
