I believe there's a kit to replace the section of line including the connector that's rusted. It really needs to be correct and secured properly,

   Good Day

High pressure gas line and better than usual
hose clamps.
Cut out corroded steel line where passed through uni frame.

See date of original posting. All is good till
years later the pump went.

The point of land separating Lake Huron and
Georgian Bay is not the place to have this happen.

The why this post is " with a substantial hammer,
one hit at the pump sump with ignition on
allowed me to avoid a tow for 200+ km. "


When replacing the pump I used the $6/ft line and made
the tank more user friendly to drop again if req. The
fittings are ok but due to the high cost of this pump
I have concerns WRT flexability and the rigidness of
orig. short hard tubing.
