Where is the best place to get Ethanol approved fuel lines?

I am going to replace my fuel lines tommorrow and was hoping someone could give me some suggestions as to where to pick it up. I am going to check with Premier Performance marine in the morning first. Any other ideas where I might be able to get some. I dont think the auto part stores would carry this. We do have a couple of other Mercury dealers locally as well as a Cabelas, Academy, Bass pro shops, all within an hours drive. Any of you Guys and Gals running older setups like myself really need to change out your fuel lines if you havent already done so. I waited too long and it cost me last weekend while fishing a tournament. ( Just cost me a little pride as I was trying to beat my Gambler buddy to our big fish hole) I thought I wouldnt have the fuel line problem because I mix my oil and gas together but I was wrong!Chris CoupelPaulina, La.Chris CoupelPaulina, La.

You are looking for Marine A1 and A2 fuel lines, we prefer the A1 lines.

Thank you both very much!I may just do the same and call Peter since He should know exactly what I need and how much. I can wait a couple of days until it gets here. So long as I have it done for the weekend Ill be o.k.Chris CoupelPaulina, La.Chris CoupelPaulina, La.

I had to replace mine on my 2008 Puma. I let the dealer do it. The lines from the tanks were fine, but the line from the fuel selector valve (gray) with the fuel bulb internally disentegrated and trashed the vapor separator on my 225 Pro XS. It took $550 to get it fixed, because the vapor separator had to be broken down into every part at Bowden Marine and cleaned. Ethanol is some really bad crap. It will toast the fuel system in a heartbeat.James

A1 in all 2010 models we know of, unless the engine company slipped in some older ones.
