REPLACEMENTKITS.COM Marine Fuel Tank Pickup Tube 24" HDPE with Brass Barb Adapter, 3/8"-1/4" NPT

Replacement Kits' Universal 24" Marine Fuel Tank Pickup Tube is a durable, high-density polyethylene fuel line with versatile NPT threading and an included brass barb adapter for reliable marine fuel delivery.

This 24-inch pickup tube is built to replace worn or damaged tank pickup lines and works with modern ethanol-blended fuels such as E10 and E85. Made from corrosion-resistant HDPE, the tube is engineered to resist degradation from fuel exposure while offering flexible connection options to fit many marine fuel systems. It replaces OEM part number 7-0948 and ships with a brass barb adapter to accommodate common hose sizes.

How will this pickup tube fit my boat's fuel tank?

The tube features a 3/8" NPT external thread and a 1/4" NPT internal thread to support a range of fittings and in-tank assemblies. These standard thread sizes make it compatible with many aftermarket and OEM connections, reducing the need for custom adapters.

• 3/8" NPT external thread for primary tank connections
• 1/4" NPT internal thread to accept internal fittings or sensors
• Included brass barb adapter: 1/8" NPT thread with 1/4" ID outlet
• Replaces part number 7-0948 for simple cross-referencing

Will this material hold up to ethanol fuels and salty marine conditions?

The tube is molded from high-density polyethylene (HDPE), a material chosen for chemical resistance and toughness. HDPE is widely used in fuel applications because it resists many of the solvents found in modern gasoline blends and is less prone to corrosion than metal lines in marine environments.

• HDPE construction resists ethanol degradation from E10 and E85 blends
• Non-corroding material for longer service life in saltwater settings
• Flexible enough for routing inside tanks without kinking
• Designed for replacement use, not structural support

How easy is installation and what hardware comes with the tube?

Installation is straightforward for anyone familiar with basic fuel line work: thread the tube into the tank fitting and attach fuel hose to the barb adapter. The package includes a brass barb adapter to make hose attachment simple and to expand compatibility with common hose inner diameters.

• Comes assembled with a removable brass barb adapter for 1/4" ID hose
• Standard NPT threads reduce the need for specialty fittings
• Trim or route the flexible tube to fit tank depth and orientation
• Recommended to use proper thread sealant compatible with fuel systems
