[QUOTE="Johnny, post: 397767, member: 13599"] yes it is ok and safe . . . . just pay attention to your motor. if it sounds like it is not getting enough juice - that would be the first thing to look at. Maybe (or not) you have developed a situation of fuel restriction. The older connectors develop dried O-rings which allows air to infiltrate and reduce the suction. [b]FWIW;[/b] In my world, I would go with one hose all in one piece long enough to do the job with the filter up by the motor and your squeeze bulb 8-12" below the filter. Get rid of that stiff factory hose and get some FUEL LINE from your auto parts store with a hand full stainless screw type hose clamps. The size of your tank connector, squeeze bulb, fuel filter and motor connector will dictate what size of hose to get. Or, it may have the diameter size on the gray hose you have now. jus my Dos Centavos welcome aboard - where you from ? [/QUOTE]
