[QUOTE="earl60446, post: 263321, member: 4469"] I would not say that the hose can be any length you want, longer the hose the more resistance. That being said, I used to have my tank in front of the middle seat which provided me more room in back and took weight out of the stern. I think the prime bulb should be fairly close to the tank, easier to suck fuel out of the tank that way. Plus fuel is easier to push than pull with a primer bulb. If you are going to lengthen the hose's, I would lengthen it between the bulb and engine, just replace the section you have on there now and try it. Keep the hose as straight / short as you can and kink free. Make sure your fuel pump is in good shape too. Tim [/QUOTE]
