Quicksilver fuel line assembly 9 ft Gray with EPA‑MERC‑PB15 primer bulb — low‑permeation, flexible

This ready-to-install fuel hose comes from Quicksilver, a long-standing supplier of OEM-quality marine parts. Built from low-permeation material and finished in heat-reflecting gray, the assembly provides a flexible, long-lasting connection between your portable fuel tank and outboard. The package includes the EPA-MERC-PB15 primer bulb; quick-disconnect fittings are not included, so check your engine manual or existing fittings before ordering.

What materials and dimensions make this fuel line suitable for marine use?

The hose uses a 5/16 inch (8 mm) inside diameter low-permeation compound that resists vapor transfer and fuel degradation. At 9 feet long, it provides ample reach for a wide range of boat layouts while remaining flexible enough to route neatly through compartments.

• 5/16 in (8 mm) inside diameter for common outboard fuel systems
• 9 ft total length to span tank-to-engine distances
• Low-permeation material reduces fuel vapor loss and odors
• Gray exterior resists heat buildup and UV exposure

How does the included primer bulb improve starting and fuel flow?

The assembly includes an EPA-MERC-PB15 primer bulb that helps establish fuel flow quickly after fill-ups or prolonged storage. Squeezing the bulb draws fuel from the portable tank into the line and engine, reducing cranking time and minimizing air pockets in the fuel system.

• EPA-MERC-PB15 bulb sized for reliable manual priming
• Reduces engine cranking time by pre-filling the line
• Helps prevent vapor lock and air-lock issues during startup
• Quick, tactile feedback to confirm fuel movement

Will this hose fit my Mercury, Mariner or Force outboard?

The hose is built to serve Mercury Marine and compatible brands, but connectors are not included in the kit. To ensure a proper fit, verify the required quick-disconnect or threaded fittings in your engine owner’s manual and compare them to the connectors you already use.

• Designed for use with Mercury/Mariner/Force outboards
• Connectors must match your engine’s quick-disconnect system
• Works with standard portable fuel tanks that use 5/16 in hose
• Check OEM part references for connector compatibility

How does this Quicksilver assembly stand up to boating conditions?

Quicksilver manufactures parts to OEM standards and tests them under marine conditions, so this assembly is engineered for durability and consistent performance. The gray hose helps reduce heat absorption and the low-permeation compound keeps fuel containment tighter than generic hoses.

• Gray color lowers heat buildup and reduces vapor risk
• Flexible construction resists cracking, kinking, and wear
• Produced under Quicksilver’s OEM-quality standards
• Primer bulb designed for repeated seasonal use

Who is this for: The Quicksilver 8M0061890 fuel line assembly is aimed at recreational boaters, marine technicians, and anyone using Mercury, Mariner or Force outboards who needs a reliable replacement or upgrade. It’s a strong choice if you want an OEM-grade hose and primer bulb that reduce vapor issues, provide dependable priming, and integrate with standard 5/16 inch fuel systems—just confirm your engine’s quick-disconnect fittings before purchasing.
