My yacht-t-t-t-t-t is equipped with two Yamaha F225TURDs, vintage 2005.
I am looking at replacing the fuel lines under the cowlings, IOW all the hose from the first stage filter to the LP pump, to the VST and from the VST to the injector manifolds.
When looking at various hoses I frequently see "Not for fuel injected engines". Now, the stuff that Yam jammed onto these engines seems pretty basic and NO different from the fuel lines I am looking at. So what gives? Does anyone know how much PSI the HI PSI pump delivers to the fuel line that wanders off to the injectors? It can't be all that much considering the size of the HP pump. Ideally, someone will suggest a reasonably cheap, E10 resistant fuel line that I can get on AMZN or at Oreilly's.
I just read some history on the interwebs that suggests that these old fuel lines be changed out as they are delaminating internally from the ethanol in the gas. Some guy at a marina in FL says they see it all the time. I am also searching for a decent replacement for the F filter. I'd like to put a clear inline filter in its place but the reviews on AMZN generally suck and indicate that leaks are not uncommon. I don't mind it so much when my auto catches on fire, but when I am playing in blue water the last thing I want to do is try and fight a fire under an outboard cowling with one of my puny fire extinguishers.
**Before any brain surgeons bitch-slap me for burning E10, I will politely inform you that E10 is the only gas available for a hundred miles of my boat.
