Sierra 18-8014EP-2 Johnson/Evinrude 8' Fuel Line 1 Fit Epa
Sierra 18-8014EP-2 Johnson/Evinrude 8' Fuel Line 1 Fit Epa Product Description
Discover Reliable Performance with a Durable Fuel Line for Your Outboard
Boat owners know the frustration of fuel system failures mid-trip—leaks, clogs, or degradation that cut adventures short. This 8-foot fuel line assembly steps in as a trusted solution, engineered specifically for Johnson and Evinrude outboards. Crafted with modern materials, it tackles common marine fuel challenges head-on, ensuring steady power delivery whether you're cruising calm bays or battling rough waves.
What sets it apart? It's built for real-world boating demands. Ethanol-blended fuels, a staple at most pumps, can wreak havoc on older lines, leading to swelling, cracking, and vapor lock. This assembly laughs that off with ethanol-resistant construction, keeping your engine fed without interruptions.
Standout Features That Deliver Peace of Mind
- EPA Compliance for Above-Deck Use: Meets strict environmental standards, reducing hydrocarbon emissions and keeping you legal on the water. Ideal for setups where the fuel tank sits exposed to the elements.
- New FKP Low-Permeation Primer Bulbs: These bulbs prime quickly and efficiently, minimizing fuel loss through permeation. Say goodbye to hard-starting issues after storage—squeeze, prime, and go.
- Thermoplastic Build with UV Resistance: Withstands intense sunlight and salt spray without brittle degradation. Perfect for boats left docked under the relentless sun.
- Advanced Barrier Layer: A multi-layer design traps fuel vapors inside, preventing evaporation and contamination. This extends the life of your fuel and protects sensitive engine components.
- 8-Foot Length for Versatile Routing: Long enough to handle various boat configurations, from center consoles to pontoons, without kinks or restrictions.
These aren't just specs—they translate to fewer maintenance headaches and more time enjoying the water. Marine experts often highlight how low-permeation tech like this cuts down on the "gasoline smell" around the boat, a common complaint with subpar lines.
Perfect Fit for Johnson and Evinrude Outboards
Designed as a direct replacement for popular Johnson and Evinrude models, this fuel line slots in seamlessly. It's tailored for 1-fitting connections, matching the OEM specs for hassle-free installs. Whether your outboard is a classic two-stroke or a later carbureted four-stroke, it supports smooth fuel flow without adapters.
Pro tip: Check your engine's service manual for exact routing diagrams. Common applications include 9.9 to 30 HP models, but always verify hose barbs and clip sizes to ensure a snug, leak-free seal.
Thrives in Tough Marine Environments
Boating isn't always smooth sailing. Ethanol in E10 or worse fuels attracts water, leading to phase separation and gunk buildup. Traditional rubber lines absorb this, softening over time. Here, the thermoplastic outer layer and inner barrier shrug it off, maintaining flexibility and integrity season after season.
UV exposure? A killer for unprotected hoses, causing cracks that invite leaks. The UV-stabilized material holds up, even on open transoms. And for those foggy mornings or post-storm startups, the FKP bulb squeezes with authority, pulling fuel reliably without collapsing.
Owners report this setup surviving multi-year abuse—from saltwater marinas to freshwater lakes—outlasting bargain imports that fail after one summer.
Easy Maintenance for Long-Lasting Reliability
Keep it performing like new with simple habits:
- Inspect Annually: Look for cracks, bulges, or soft spots, especially near bends.
- Store Smart: Drain fuel during off-season or add stabilizer to combat ethanol woes.
- Clean Connections: Wipe fittings before install to prevent debris ingress.
- Replace Primer Bulb if Needed: Bulbs wear out; a fresh one restores instant priming.
These steps extend service life beyond the typical 2-3 years of generic lines, saving you cash on repeats.
Quick and Straightforward Installation
No need for a marine mechanic. Tools required: pliers, screwdriver, and maybe hose clamps. Disconnect old line at tank and engine, route the new one following natural paths to avoid chafing, secure with clips, and test for leaks at idle. Total time? Under 30 minutes for most setups.
Bonus: The pre-assembled design means no crimping or gluing—plug and play for confident DIYers.
Frequently Asked Questions
What makes this fuel line EPA compliant?
It uses low-permeation materials that minimize fuel vapor emissions, meeting EPA standards for above-deck outboard applications. This reduces environmental impact while ensuring reliable performance.
Is this fuel line resistant to ethanol-blended fuels?
Yes, its specialized construction resists swelling and degradation from ethanol in E10 or higher blends, preventing common issues like leaks and vapor lock.
What is an FKP primer bulb and why does it matter?
FKP stands for fluorinated low-permeation material. It primes faster, lasts longer, and reduces fuel evaporation compared to standard bulbs, making startups effortless.
How does UV resistance benefit my boat?
The thermoplastic outer layer blocks UV rays, preventing cracking and brittleness from sun exposure. Essential for boats stored outdoors or in sunny climates.
Which Johnson and Evinrude models does this fit?
It's designed for many Johnson and Evinrude outboards with 1-fitting fuel connections, typically 9.9-30 HP. Confirm your model's hose specs for the best match.
How long is the fuel line?
This assembly measures 8 feet, providing ample length for standard routing from tank to engine without excess slack or tension.
Can I install this myself?
Absolutely—it's pre-assembled for easy swap. Disconnect old line, route new one, secure fittings, and test. Basic tools suffice.
