Do yourself a favor...if you have a squeeze/primer bulb somewhere in the fuel line....replace that too when you tear out/replace the old fuel line (if it's been around for a few years). And if you have a fuel/water separator filter replace that too...that way everything in your fuel system will be new and won't stand a chance of being contaminated by any "old" parts in your current fuel system. I wouldn't even consider zip ties or plastic clamps on any fuel line. Seems they ALWAYS break 5 miles from shore or the ramp. Use stainless clamps..and have 1/2 spares in your toolbox onboard.
