Hi Paul , great video. Wanted to give a hack for getting the fuel lines off when stuck. Move clamp back as yo did, then take your needle nose or pliers and put on top of fuel line, apply pressure as you turn up and down or side to side. Don't clamp too hard as you can damage the line.
So that helps to open/expand the hose end as you twist and pull apart. I think I am picking up what you're puttin down! Thanks for stopping by to give a quick tech tip!
@thepauldixonOC I probably didn't give a good visual as I'm limited to how many characters I can use. I'll use two comments to explain better. The fuel line is sticking to the plastic nipple on the filter. After sliding off the clamp place the jaws of pliers over the hose where the clamp was. Apply enough pressure from jaws to give SLIGHT bite into hose. Twist up and down on hose while if hose is in horizontal position or side to side if hose in vertical position while holding filter. This will will break the seized hose free from nipple. One it breaks free remove pliers and then pull off hose by hand and it should be WAY easier than force pulling it off. What can happen when force pulling off in can break reinforcement strands in-between layers of fuel hose. Hope this was more clear. Happy boating !
I ordered the filters and will replace when they are delivered. Curious how was your engine ruining before? Mine will idle okay but when i give it throttle it kinda pulses and like its about to stall out but never does. I hope the filters solve it.
