Awesome trip and location. Beautiful place and truck.

I see, thank you.

Does anybody know if US Coast Guard approved hose would be OK for submersion. I've seen plenty of boats sink and we never had to worry about replacing fuel line after it went under salt or fresh water. That would be very readily available. A little more expensive but very available.

Hi John, I'm not a duece guy, YET. Just a lowly boat mechanic faced with the same problem, I think the first thing I would do is pressurize the fuel system and look for leaks those on some seals they only leak under vacuum so if that didn't reveal any thing the next step is to vacuum test the...

May I ask, what does he say about the 809 series?
