Boat owners, this universal marine fuel pickup tube is exactly what you need to keep your engine running smoothly! At 12 inches long (and yes, you can cut it to fit your specific tank), this high-density polyethylene tube extracts fuel efficiently while that built-in metal filter screens out impurities that could clog your fuel lines. The 3/8\ NPT external threads and 1/4\ NPT internal threads make it compatible with most standard universal boats - it actually replaces part number 7-0948 if you're looking for a direct replacement. The aluminum and brass connectors resist corrosion, and the whole setup works with both E10 and E85 ethanol fuels, which is great since more marinas are switching to ethanol blends. Installation is straightforward - the simple structure means you can probably handle it yourself without complicated steps or special tools. The brass barb fitting has 1/8\ NPT threads and 1/4\ inner diameter outlet for connecting your fuel lines. This pickup tube withstands both low and high temperatures thanks to that high-density polyethylene construction. Seriously, if you're dealing with fuel delivery issues or just want to protect your marine engine from gunk and debris, this affordable replacement part could save you from costly engine repairs down the line. Keep your boat running reliably season after season with this durable, efficient fuel pickup solution.
