25D Fuel Line lengths

Post by bhartley »

Pyxis left her slip under power for the first time in far too long this month. It seems, however, time to replace the fuel lines from the tank to the Racor. The boat is 1 1/2 hours away and I failed to measure the lenghth. Anyone replace their fuel lines and have a lenghth within a foot or so?

Hopeing actually have wind for sailing the next time we head out!

If you don’t get any response and have a trip planned in the very near future, I would just get enough extra hose to make sure its long enough.

I’ll be going to my boat and get a measurement for you but it will be early next week before I make the trip.

Ok, sorry for the delay. I've been beset by a number of short term issues on the home front including the latest issues with flooding and trees down that needed to be cut up and moved. Luckily no permanent damage that a chiropractor can't fix.

Made the trip to the boat today and measured the fuel lines. The tank to fuel filter line is 48" and the return line from the injector to the tank is 54". I hope this helps.
