Andy,

Any experience with the new Marpac blue colored polyester fuel lines & bulbs? Supposed to be e85 (85% ethanol) impervious and not stiffen up in cold weather like the standard fuel lines are know for doing. They had this product on Shipshape TV a few weeks back, but I have seen him endorse products I thought were questionable before (more about the sponsor money sometimes I think).

Here is a segment of that episode starting at the portion on the polyester lines....

Just wondered if this was hype or the next step in the evolution of products to deal with higher levels of ethanol.

And if this is a good product I guess I need to call you and order some for both boats if you have it (or can get it). Or would you stay with the traditional black A1 hose?

Ok, thanks. Now I guess I need to decide if I want to try something new or go with the tried and tested solution from Sim Yamaha.... That's a no brainer
