1/2" Type A1 Marine Fuel Hose
MPI 360-12 1/2" Type A1 Marine Fuel Hose
The MPI 360-12 1/2" Type A1 Marine Fuel Hose is a heavy-duty bulk fuel line for marine fuel systems requiring a 1/2" inside diameter and the additional fire-resistant protection associated with Type A1 marine fuel hose.
The larger 1/2" inside diameter makes this hose suitable for higher-flow marine fuel-system applications where a larger supply line is required.
Pro Marine stocks the matching German-style hose clamp, installation tools and a complete clamp assortment for marine fuel-system service.

Application: Marine Fuel System
Matching Clamp: German-Style Hose Clamp 4-4
What is Type A1 Marine Fuel Hose?
Type A1 marine fuel hose is designed for fuel-feed applications requiring a marine hose with enhanced fire-resistant performance.
Type A1 hose is commonly used in permanent marine fuel systems and installations where the fuel line passes through enclosed or below-deck areas.
When selecting fuel hose, both the inside diameter and the required hose classification should be verified for the installation.
Why Use 1/2" Fuel Hose?
A 1/2" fuel line provides greater internal flow area than the more common 1/4", 5/16" and 3/8" marine fuel hoses.
It may be used in applications where the engine or fuel-system design requires a larger fuel supply line to support higher fuel-flow demand.
Always follow the engine or boat manufacturer's required hose diameter rather than increasing or decreasing hose size without verifying the fuel-system requirements.
Unlike many smaller outboard fuel-line assemblies, a 1/2" marine fuel-line system would not normally use an inline hand primer bulb.
Larger 1/2" fuel lines are generally associated with higher-flow fuel systems where fuel delivery is handled by the engine's fuel-system configuration rather than a manual primer bulb.
Always follow the fuel-system design specified for the engine and boat.

View Oetiker Clamp PackWhat This Fuel Hose is Used For
MPI 360-12 is used when building, repairing or replacing a marine fuel supply line requiring 1/2" Type A1 hose.
Typical applications involve larger marine fuel systems where increased fuel-flow capacity is required and the installation calls for Type A1 hose.
Typical 1/2" Fuel-Line Setup
Depending on the boat and engine, a 1/2" marine fuel-line installation may include:
- MPI 360-12 1/2" Type A1 marine fuel hose
- German-style 4-4 hose clamps
- Fuel tank pickup or shutoff valve
- Fuel/water separator or filter assembly
- Engine fuel-system connection
- Application-specific fittings and adapters
Primer Bulb vs. Larger Fuel Systems
Smaller outboard fuel systems commonly use 1/4", 5/16" or 3/8" hose with an inline primer bulb.
A 1/2" fuel supply line generally indicates a higher-flow fuel system, and a hand primer bulb is not normally part of that configuration.
The engine manufacturer's fuel-system requirements should always take priority when determining hose size, fittings, filters and priming components.

FAQ
What size is MPI 360-12?
This fuel hose has a 1/2" inside diameter.
What type of fuel hose is 360-12?
It is Type A1 marine fuel hose.
What is Type A1 fuel hose used for?
Type A1 is used for marine fuel-feed applications requiring the additional
fire-resistant performance associated with Type A hose.
Can this hose be used below deck?
Type A1 hose is commonly used in enclosed and below-deck fuel-system
installations when the fuel system calls for this hose size and classification.
Which clamp fits this 1/2" hose?
Use the
German-Style 4-4 Hose Clamp
.
Does this hose use an Oetiker ear clamp?
The recommended clamp for this hose is the
German-style 4-4 hose clamp.
Does 1/2" fuel hose use a primer bulb?
A primer bulb is not normally used in a fuel system
requiring 1/2" hose. Larger lines are typically used in higher-flow fuel
systems with a different priming and fuel-delivery arrangement.
Should I use 1/2" hose just to increase fuel flow?
Use the hose diameter specified for the engine and fuel system. Increasing
hose size without verifying the complete system is not a substitute for
following the manufacturer's fuel-system requirements.
Do you sell fuel-line clamp tools?
Yes. Pro Marine stocks the
Oetiker Standard Jaw Pincer Tool
for fuel-line applications using Oetiker ear clamps.
Do you sell a complete clamp assortment?
Yes. The

Marine Fuel Tank Fill Hose
1-1/2" Type A2 Marine Fuel Fill Hose - FILLHOSE-112
FILLHOSE-112 is a 1-1/2" marine Type A2 fuel fill hose designed for the large-diameter fuel connection between the boat's deck-mounted gas fill and fuel tank.
Fuel fill hose is different from the smaller fuel-supply hose that carries gasoline from the tank to the engine. Its job is to safely route fuel from the deck fill fitting into the tank while providing the larger diameter needed during refueling.
Pro Marine also stocks the matching 4-8 German-style stainless-steel hose clamp, a 1-1/2" chrome gas deck fill, and a larger 2" Type A2 fuel fill hose.
Inside Diameter: 1-1/2"
Hose Type: USCG Type A2
Application: Marine Fuel Fill Line
Connects: Deck Fuel Fill to Fuel Tank
Matching Clamp: 4-8
What This Fuel Fill Hose is Used For
FILLHOSE-112 is intended for the fuel-fill portion of a permanently installed marine fuel system.
In a typical installation, the hose runs from the fitting directly behind the deck-mounted fuel cap down to the fuel tank's fill-neck connection.
Common applications include:
- Boat fuel tank fill hose
- Deck fill to fuel tank connection
- Replacement of aged or deteriorated marine fuel fill hose
- Boat restoration and fuel-system rerigging
- New permanent marine fuel tank installations
What Does USCG Type A2 Mean?
Type A2 is a marine fuel-hose classification used for compatible fuel-system applications including fuel fill and vent lines.
Under federal marine fuel-system requirements, Type A hose is constructed to meet a fire-resistance test. Type A2 is a Class 2 hose designation.
The important application distinction for this product is that Type A2 hose is suitable for a marine fuel fill or vent line. It should not be confused with the smaller Type A1 fuel hose commonly used in fuel-feed applications.
This 1-1/2" hose is intended for the deck fill to fuel tank connection.
Do not select fuel hose only by diameter. Fuel fill, vent and tank-to-engine fuel lines have different applications and hose requirements.
Matching 1-1/2" Fuel Fill Hose Clamp
Matching clamp for the 1-1/2" fuel fill hose installation.
Pro Marine's 4-8 German-style clamp has a 27-51mm / 1.05-1.99" clamping range and is made from 316 stainless steel.
Secure the hose at the deck-fill fitting and fuel-tank fill neck according to the requirements of the installation.

View 4-9 Hose ClampFuel Fill Hose Installation Tips
- Match the hose inside diameter to the deck fill and fuel-tank fill connection.
- Use marine fuel hose specifically designed for fuel-fill applications.
- Use properly sized corrosion-resistant hose clamps.
- Make sure the hose is fully seated on each fitting before clamping.
- Avoid sharp bends that can restrict fuel flow while filling the tank.
- Route the hose so it cannot be crushed by batteries, storage or other equipment.
- Keep the hose away from sharp edges and moving components.
- Inspect the entire fill hose for cracking, hardening and deterioration.
- Check all connections for fuel seepage after installation.
Fuel fill hose is large and heavily constructed. Plan the routing before cutting the hose.
A smooth path from the deck fill to the tank helps fuel flow freely during refueling and reduces the chance of creating a low spot, restriction or kink.
When Should Marine Fuel Fill Hose Be Replaced?
Fuel fill hose should be inspected whenever the fuel tank, deck fill or surrounding rigging is serviced.
Consider replacement if you find:
- Cracking in the outer hose
- Dry, hardened or brittle hose
- Soft or swollen areas
- Abrasion or chafing
- Fuel odor around the fill-hose area
- Visible fuel seepage
- Damaged or heavily corroded clamps
- Hose that no longer fits securely on the fill fitting or tank
How the Marine Fuel Fill System Works
When gasoline is added through the deck-mounted gas cap, it travels through the large-diameter fuel fill hose and into the permanent fuel tank.
A separate fuel-tank vent system allows displaced air to escape while the tank is being filled.
The fuel fill hose, deck fill, tank connection and vent system all need to remain correctly routed and unobstructed for reliable refueling.
