Sierra 18-8024EP-2 Fuel Line 8' Mc Barb-Clip Epa
Sierra 18-8024EP-2 Fuel Line 8' Mc Barb-Clip Epa Product Description
Upgrade Your Outboard's Fuel Delivery with Reliable Performance
When you're out on the water, the last thing you want is a fuel line that fails under pressure. This 8-foot fuel line assembly stands out by combining rugged durability with strict environmental standards, ensuring smooth power delivery from your outboard motor. Designed for above-deck use, it tackles common marine challenges like ethanol-blended fuels and harsh sunlight exposure, keeping your engine running strong season after season.
Boaters often deal with cracked hoses or vapor lock from poor-quality lines, leading to frustrating breakdowns mid-trip. This assembly flips the script with a multi-layer barrier construction that locks in fuel vapors and resists degradation, so you can focus on the horizon instead of troubleshooting.
Engineered for Marine Toughness
Crafted from high-grade thermoplastic, this fuel line shrugs off ultraviolet rays that brittle standard rubber hoses over time. The integrated barrier layer acts like a shield, preventing fuel permeation and reducing evaporation losses that rob your engine of consistent performance.
- EPA Compliance: Meets stringent above-deck regulations, avoiding fines and ensuring your setup passes inspections effortlessly.
- Ethanol Resistance: Handles E10 and higher blends without swelling, softening, or leaking—critical as most pump gas now contains ethanol.
- Low-Permeation Primer Bulb: Features advanced FKP material for reliable priming without the fuel smell or seepage issues of older designs.
- Secure Connections: Male barb on one end and clip-style on the other for a leak-proof fit on most outboard tanks and motors.
These aren't just specs; they're solutions born from real-world boating demands. Ethanol can turn a cheap fuel line into a mushy mess after one summer, but this one's built to endure, saving you from roadside—or waterside—repairs.
Perfect Fit for Popular Outboards
Compatible with a wide range of outboard engines, this 8-foot length strikes the ideal balance for most recreational boats. It slots right into setups from leading brands, replacing OEM parts without custom tweaks. Whether you're rigging a center console for fishing or a runabout for family outings, it delivers the flow your motor craves at wide-open throttle.
Pro tip: Measure your current line's path around cowlings and tanks to confirm fit, but at 8 feet, it handles most standard configurations with room to spare for clean routing.
Simple Installation and Long-Term Maintenance
Swapping out your old fuel line takes under 30 minutes with basic tools. Start by relieving tank pressure, disconnect both ends, and route the new assembly following the factory path to avoid kinks. Secure the clip end firmly and test for leaks at idle before heading out.
"Replaced my leaky stock line last season—primed flawlessly on the first squeeze and no ethanol issues all summer long."

For longevity, inspect annually for abrasions, especially where it rubs against the hull or engine bracket. Rinse with fresh water after saltwater exposure to prevent corrosion on fittings. Store dry during off-season to maximize the thermoplastic's UV resistance.
