FEDERAL LAW

183.562 - Metallic fuel lines

(b) Each metallic fuel line must be attached to the boat’s structure within four inches of its connection to a flexible fuel line.

To prevent damaging stresses on the metallic fuel line at the connection of the flexible fuel line, there must be a means of support for the metallic fuel line within four inches of the connection. This support must be installed wherever a flexible fuel line is used and attached to a rigid metallic fuel line. The closer the support is to the end of the metallic fuel line, the better the protection of the metallic fuel line.
