Topic: Source for B1 fuel hose in 3/16" for Farymann K34?

Trying to not have to go to UK to source B1 fuel hose to replace those on my aging Farymann K34.   1/4" hose is commonly available (Trident, Sierra, etc), but not the smaller 3/16" size.

Any ideas?  I only need 3 feet or so, if anyone has some lying around!

Thanks,

You could try at Guité Marine. They installed my 1GM10 this winter.

cPaul, I had a fuel problem last summer and had to replace a bunch of hoses.  It turns out that some previous owner had replaced hoses and nipples with a mish-mash of mixed sizes and the result was that I, too, had to replace them with hoses that weren't the right size since I was mid-trip and a bit stranded.

I'm curious to know what the stock size is for the fuel supply hoses.
1) Fuel tank -> filter
2) Filter -> pump

If you know of any other original hose sizes, I'd like to jot them down for future reference.

FWIW, I bought hoses at a Princess Auto ... I told them it was for a diesel, they sold me "fuel hoses", but I found out later they were not appropriate for diesel.  *ugh*  I had to replace them all a second time.

Thanks Jordon,

I'll probably be giving them a call at some point.

Meanwhile, I have ordered the 3/16" fuel hose from a UK supplier.
