MPI Type A Marine Fuel Hose
MPI 1/4" Type A Marine Fuel Hose - Sold by the Foot
The MPI 314-1 1/4" Type A Marine Fuel Hose is bulk marine fuel line for applications requiring 1/4" inside-diameter hose and the additional fire-resistant protection of Type A marine fuel hose.
Type A hose is commonly selected for enclosed, below-deck and other marine fuel-system installations where Type A hose is required. The hose is sold by the foot, allowing you to order the continuous length needed for your installation.
Pro Marine also stocks the matching Oetiker 4-170 ear clamp, Pro Marine 8002 1/4" primer bulb, Oetiker installation tools and a 1/4" Type B alternative.
Inside Diameter: 1/4"
Manufacturer: MPI Products
Fuel Hose Type: Type A Marine Fuel Hose
Sold: By the Foot
Recommended Clamp: Oetiker 4-170
Recommended Primer Bulb: Pro Marine 8002 - 1/4"
How to Order Bulk Fuel Hose
MPI 314-1 is sold by the foot. Enter the quantity based on the continuous length of fuel hose needed for the installation.
For example, if you need 8 feet of 1/4" Type A hose, order a quantity of 8.
What is Type A Marine Fuel Hose?
Marine fuel hose classifications help identify the hose's intended application, permeation performance and fire resistance.
Type A marine fuel hose meets the applicable marine fuel-hose performance requirements as well as the additional USCG fire-test requirement associated with Type A hose.
This makes Type A hose the appropriate choice for fuel-system installations where the additional fire-resistant classification is required.
Where is Type A Fuel Hose Used?
Type A fuel hose is commonly used in enclosed and below-deck marine fuel-system installations and other locations where the fuel line must meet the Type A fire-resistant classification.
Always select marine fuel hose according to the requirements of the specific fuel-system installation rather than choosing hose based on diameter alone.
For exposed and above-deck applications where Type B marine fuel hose is permitted, Pro Marine stocks the MPI 315-014 1/4" Type B fuel hose.

Fuel Hose Type: Type B
Matching Clamp: Oetiker 4-133
Primer Bulb: Pro Marine 8002 - 1/4"
1/4" Type A vs. Type B Fuel Hose
| Fuel Hose | Classification | Matching Clamp | Primer Bulb |
|---|---|---|---|
| MPI 314-1 | Type A | Oetiker 4-170 | Pro Marine 8002 - 1/4" |
| MPI 315-014 | Type B | Oetiker 4-133 | Pro Marine 8002 - 1/4" |
Why Do the Type A and Type B Hoses Use Different Clamps?
Both hoses have a 1/4" inside diameter, which allows them to connect to compatible 1/4" fittings and the Pro Marine 8002 1/4" primer bulb.
However, the 1/4" measurement does not indicate the outside diameter of the hose. Different hose constructions and wall thicknesses result in different outside diameters.
The MPI 314-1 Type A hose uses Oetiker 4-170, while the MPI 315-014 Type B hose uses Oetiker 4-133. Always select the clamp for the specific hose rather than selecting it based only on inside diameter.
What This Fuel Hose is Used For
MPI 314-1 is intended for building, repairing or replacing marine fuel lines requiring 1/4" Type A fuel hose.
Selling the hose by the foot makes it suitable for custom-length installations and allows the hose to be paired with the appropriate primer bulb, fittings, connectors and clamps for the specific boat.
Building a 1/4" Type A Fuel Line
Depending on the application, a complete 1/4" fuel-line setup may include:
- MPI 314-1 1/4" Type A marine fuel hose
- Pro Marine 8002 1/4" primer bulb
- Correct tank-side fitting or connection
- Correct engine-side fitting or connector
- Oetiker 4-170 ear clamps
- Oetiker pincer installation tool
Exact component requirements depend on the engine, fuel tank and configuration of the boat's fuel system.
Primer Bulb Selection
Primer bulb fittings should match the inside diameter of the fuel hose. For 1/4" fuel line, use the Pro Marine 8002 1/4" Primer Bulb.

MPI Type A Low-Permeation Marine Fuel Hose
MPI 5/16" Type A Marine Fuel Hose - Sold by the Foot
The MPI 313-1 5/16" Type A Marine Fuel Hose is a low-permeation bulk fuel line for marine installations requiring the additional fire-resistant protection associated with USCG Type A fuel hose.
This hose is a strong choice for enclosed, below-deck and other installations where Type A hose is required. It is sold by the foot so you can purchase the exact length needed for the boat.
Pro Marine also stocks the correct Oetiker 4-170 ear clamp, a compatible 5/16" primer bulb, clamp installation tools and alternate 5/16" fuel-hose options.
Inside Diameter: 5/16"
Manufacturer: MPI Products
Fuel Hose Type: Type A Marine Fuel Hose
Construction: Low Permeation
Sold: By the Foot
Recommended Clamp: Oetiker 4-170
Recommended Primer Bulb: Pro Marine 8004 - 5/16"
How to Order Bulk Fuel Hose
This hose is sold by the foot. Enter the quantity based on the total continuous length needed for your installation.
For example, if you need 10 feet of hose, order a quantity of 10.
What Does Type A Marine Fuel Hose Mean?
Marine fuel hose is classified according to its intended fuel-system use, permeation performance and fire-resistance requirements.
Type A hose meets the applicable marine fuel-hose performance standard and also meets the additional USCG fire-test requirement. This makes Type A hose the appropriate choice in marine installations where additional fire resistance is required.
Type A1 vs. Type A2
| Classification | General Application | Permeation Class |
|---|---|---|
| Type A1 | Fuel-feed hose, including tank-to-engine applications where Type A hose is required | Lower permeation |
| Type A2 | Certain fuel-fill and vent applications | Higher permitted permeation than Class 1 |
For marine fuel-feed hose between the fuel tank and engine, federal requirements specifically identify USCG Type A1 as the Type A fuel-feed classification.
Always confirm the exact hose marking and requirements for your particular fuel-system installation before ordering.
When Should You Choose Type A Fuel Hose?
Type A fuel hose is generally selected when the fuel line is routed through an area where the installation requires the additional USCG fire-resistant hose classification.
This commonly includes many enclosed or below-deck installations, as well as other fuel-system layouts where Type A hose is specified by the boat builder, engine manufacturer or applicable regulation.

| MPI 315-056 | Type B1/B2 | Oetiker 4-153 |
| Mercury OEM #100 | Mercury Silver Fuel Hose | Oetiker 4-145 |
Why Do Different 5/16" Hoses Use Different Clamps?
The 5/16" measurement describes the hose's inside diameter. It does not tell you the outside diameter.
Type A hose typically has a different construction and wall thickness than Type B or OEM hose, so its outside diameter can be larger even though all of the hoses have the same 5/16" inside diameter.
That is why the MPI 313-1 Type A hose uses the Oetiker 4-170 clamp, while the Type B hose uses 4-153 and the Mercury silver hose uses 4-145.
What This Fuel Hose is Used For
The MPI 313-1 Type A fuel hose is intended for building, repairing or replacing compatible marine fuel lines where a Type A fuel-hose classification is required.
Typical installations may include permanent marine fuel systems, enclosed routing areas and tank-to-engine applications requiring Type A1 fuel-feed hose.
Building a 5/16" Type A Fuel Line
Depending on the installation, a complete setup may require:
- MPI 313-1 5/16" Type A fuel hose
- Oetiker 4-170 ear clamps
- 5/16" primer bulb
- Correct tank-side fitting
- Correct engine-side fitting or connector
- Oetiker pincer installation tool

Need Help Choosing the Right Marine Fuel Hose?
Selecting the correct fuel hose depends on more than hose diameter. Installation location, fuel-hose classification, permeation rating, fittings, primer bulb and clamp size all matter.
