Quicksilver fuel line assembly 8 ft with primer bulb — low-permeation hose, quick-disconnect

The Quicksilver 8M0061883 fuel line assembly is an 8-foot, low-permeation hose with a built-in primer bulb and quick-disconnect fitting designed for Mercury, Mariner and Force outboard engines.

This OEM-grade fuel hose by Quicksilver delivers a ready-to-install fuel feed solution that matches Mercury Marine specifications. Engineered to resist fuel permeation and to stay flexible in variable temperatures, the assembly pairs a quick-disconnect engine fitting with a 1/4" NPT threaded tank connection. It also includes the EPA-MERC-PB15 primer bulb to improve fuel delivery during start-up and after long idle periods.

How does this fuel line improve starting and fuel flow?

The included primer bulb lets you manually prime the system before ignition so fuel reaches the engine intake quickly, reducing cranking time. The low-permeation hose and secure fittings maintain steady flow under load and reduce vapor formation that can interfere with consistent fuel delivery.

• EPA-MERC-PB15 primer bulb for fast manual priming
• 1/4" NPT tank-threaded fitting for secure tank connection
• Quick-disconnect at engine end for easy attachment and removal

Will this fit my Mercury, Mariner or Force outboard?

This assembly is made to match factory specs for many Mercury, Mariner and Force outboards, but compatibility depends on the quick-disconnect style used on your engine. Check your owner’s manual or compare fittings before ordering to confirm the correct disconnect configuration.

• Designed to meet Mercury Marine original equipment standards
• Quick-disconnect engine connector—verify style in manual
• 1/4" NPT tank end fits standard threaded fuel tanks

How does the hose handle heat and sunlight exposure?

The gray outer compound reduces heat absorption and helps limit vapor lock risk on warm days and in sunny conditions. The low-permeation interior material resists fuel diffusion, which preserves fuel integrity and reduces emissions over time.

• Gray color minimizes solar heat gain
• Low-permeation construction lowers fuel vapor loss
• Flexible design resists cracking and kinking across temperature ranges

What installation and maintenance tips should I know?

Installation is straightforward: secure the threaded tank end, connect the quick-disconnect to the engine, and prime the line. Periodically inspect the hose and primer bulb for soft spots, leaks, or hardened areas and replace if any defects appear.

• Tighten 1/4" NPT fitting to tank per manual torque guidelines
• Engage quick-disconnect until audible click confirms attachment
• Inspect primer bulb and hose annually or after seasonal storage
