Review on πŸ”’ Sierra (116-368-0383) 3/8" Low Permeation Fuel Feed Hose: Efficient Solution for Controlled Fuel Flow by Mark Gardner

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Use this Sierra type A1-15 hose. Do not buy Type B (Moeler/Attwood/etc). Your safety depends on it.

Stay away from Class B hoses. In just 3-6 months, at $50 each, I found the Moeler hose liners coming off and bits getting into the carburetor and because of today's ethanol, my outboards clogged in gasoline. This Sierra hose is a real find. The construction of the Sierra Type A1 is significantly better and should last a long time. It was a lot cheaper than the grade B junk that Moeler makes. I highly recommend everyone to switch to an A1-15 tube. So far this is the way. It's not worth risking a $15,000-$30,000 outboard motor failure because you're putting a crappy off-the-shelf Moeler or Attwood hose on the motor in a life-threatening situation when you need it most. In all honesty, they should either ban ethanol in gasoline or ban Type B fuel lines. This Sierra product is now the solution.
