Title: Powertech fuel hose
Post by: Mike in GA on October 05, 2019, 12:19:55 PM
Leaky feeder line from filter to injectors.  Is this black rubber hose 3/8ths or 5/16ths? The gen-set is a 10 kW four cylinder Kubota.
Thanks in advance.

I am pretty sure it is 5/16th on my Wrico with a Kabota engine, but yours may be a bit different. If it is like mine, it is only about 8" long so why not just pick up one of each and two new hose clamps just to be sure. 

And while you are at it, if your genny has an electronic fuel pump on it, while you are at it, pick up a brass Tee and a ball valve and some extra fuel line and run it to the inlet side of your primary filter. Then if you ever run out of fuel in your big engine, it will be easier to prime it and you will not need to crawl under the bus.  I did that on mine last year and there will soon be an article about it in BCM.
