How do you know if you have air in your fuel-line?
Symptoms of air in the fuel would be a rough running engine and low power. Depending on how much air is in the fuel determines how rough the engine is going to run; the more air in the fuel, the rougher the engine runs and the lower the output of the engine.
Why are there so many fuel line issues?
Most vehicle repair shops are encountering a lot of fuel-line-related issues since the introduction of ethanolinto America’s pump gas. Because of ethanol’s effects on rubber, plastic and metals, they are finding themselves spending a lot more time fixing fuel delivery systems than they did in the days of leaded gas and carburetors.
What happens when your fuel pressure is too high?
As we discussed, high fuel pressure means that the air to fuel ratio is off-kilter. The causes for this imbalance of fuel pressure typically include either a bad fuel regulator or a clogged return line. When Your Check Engine Light Comes On
What kind of pressure does a fuel line hose need?
Working pressure is not relevant, but wire-inserted hose can withstand 50-85 psi, depending on diameter. High-pressure fuel hose for clamp-type fuel-injection systems is also available. This fuel hose is SAE 30R9-rated and uses a fluoro elastomer inner liner that will withstand up to 180 psi and 300 degrees.
What happens if LP or propane pressure is inadequate?
LP or Propane Gas Pressures & Natural Gas fuel supply problems & solutions. Here we describe the common causes of inadequate LP or natural gas flow or pressure to appliances and generators. Inadequate gas flow can cause appliance malfunction such as backup generator surging and may be unsafe as well.
What causes the loss of pressure in my fuel line for?
Either the fuel pump is weak, and on its way out. Or, there is an air leak in the fuel lines fittings, and the fuel pump is sucking air, and not fuel. It does not sound like a restriction or vacuum problem, because if it was, the primer bulb would have been sucked flat.

What should I do if my fuel line is not working?
If you don’t have a T block and vacuum gauge. What you can do is go to home depot and get some 3/8ths clear vinyl tubing and a couple of hose barbs, and try and plumb it in place just before the fuel pump on the engine. Just unplug your fuel line from the fuel pump, and splice in that clear tubing. And go run the boat with the engine cover off.
