What size is boat fuel line?
Of course, the 3/8″ fuel line will work for any of the outboards. But most smaller outboards have fittings or quick connects on them that are set for a 5/16″ hose. It’s basically the standard hose for the smaller engines.
Is fuel line measured ID or OD?
Tubing is OD (outside diameter) and Pipe is ID (inside diameter). So the easiest way to tell the size of your fuel line, which is tubing, is to use a combination wrench. Whichever one slips over snuggly is the winner.
Can a fuel line be too big?
The fuel line size being too large won’t really affect the fuel pressure. Excessive fuel pressure is what can cause the fuel to overrun the needle/seats and flood the motor with excess fuel. That being said running a -8AN fuel line is beyond overkill for a 340 but it shouldn’t adversely affect it.
What size fuel line should I use?

Does fuel hose size matter?
Does size really matter when it comes to fuel lines? According to the fuel delivery system experts at Fuelab, it does. It’s because fuel line size and length have a direct effect on the amount of fuel pressure drop your fuel system will experience.
How do I know what size fuel hose I need?
Place the top of a 1/4-inch wrench with an open end over the fuel line. Slide it carefully over the line so that it fits snugly against the tubing. Read the wrench’s measurements to determine the diameter of the fuel line. Place a caliper over the fuel line if the wrench did not give an accurate reading.
Does fuel pump increase horsepower?
Horsepower As horsepower increases so does the volume of fuel required to support that power. A good estimator of volume to power is approximately 10 hp per gallon or 2.64 hp per liter. For example if your pump flows at 50 gph it should be able to support a 500 hp engine (50 x 10 = 500).
Do I need a fuel return line?
You don’t really “need” a return; but the car will work better if it has one, on the street. The fuel pump pressurizes fuel to send it to the carb. If the engine isn’t using much fuel (sitting still idling for example) the fuel in the line will be mostly just sitting there, getting hot.
Why does my fuel pump have 3 lines?
The vapor canister comes off the tank. The third line on the fuel pump would go to your carb. And no oil should come out of the fuel pump block off plate when removed unless the motor was running. The second steel line in your frame is the return line.

Air bubbles in a fuel line can lead to stalling, hiccuping or refusal to start. Keep your fuel lines free of air to help keep your car running smoothly.
Does a carburetor have a fuel return line?
By running a return line that’s the same size as the feed line, you can eliminate that problem entirely.” Even carbureted engines can benefit from a bypass fuel pressure regulator. In contrast, a bypass regulator controls pressure by returning excess fuel out of the bottom port and back to the tank using a return line.
Can you block off fuel return line?
Any fuel going through the return line is simply fuel your engine did not need/could not use. Blocking or restricting the line only increases fuel pressure at the injectors. Blocking the line results in the fuel pressure just being the maximum the pump can push.
