What This Tygon Bleed Hose is Used For
Item 259 is intended for small-diameter marine applications requiring 1/8" transparent Tygon bleed hose.
Small bleed lines can become brittle, cracked, loose or damaged over time. Replacing deteriorated tubing helps maintain proper fluid routing and system operation.
Always verify the required inside diameter and application before replacing an existing hose.
Why Use Transparent Bleed Hose?
Transparent hose allows the line and the fluid inside it to be visually inspected during service.
Depending on the system, this can make it easier to identify:
- Whether fluid is present in the line
- Air pockets
- Visible contamination
- Flow interruptions
- Hose discoloration or deterioration

Small oil-injection hoses can become hard, brittle, cracked or damaged with age. Replacing deteriorated tubing is an important part of servicing an oil-injected PWC or other compatible system.
Always verify the required inside diameter and application before replacing an existing hose.
Why Use Transparent Tygon Hose?
Transparent tubing provides an important advantage on small fluid lines: it allows the technician to visually inspect what is happening inside the hose.
Depending on the system, this can make it easier to check for fluid in the line and identify obvious air pockets or contamination during service.
Pro Marine stocks multiple transparent Tygon hose sizes for PWC, outboard, fuel-line, oil-injection and bleed-hose applications.

View Oetiker Clamp PackChoosing the Correct Tygon Hose Size
Hose size should be matched to the fitting and system being serviced. Do not substitute a larger or smaller hose simply because it appears close in size.
For an existing oil-injection, fuel or bleed-line system, compare the original hose size and application before replacement. If the application is uncertain, verify the engine or PWC model and the required hose size before installation.

1/4" Fuel Hose Comparison
| Fuel Hose | Classification | Matching Clamp | Primer Bulb |
|---|---|---|---|
| MPI 315-014 | Type B | Oetiker 4-133 | Pro Marine 8002 - 1/4" |
| MPI 314-1 | Type A | Oetiker 4-170 | Pro Marine 8002 - 1/4" |
Why Do Two 1/4" Hoses Use Different Clamps?
The 1/4" measurement refers to the hose's inside diameter. It does not determine the outside diameter of the hose.
Type A and Type B hose use different constructions and wall thicknesses, so their outside diameters can be different even when both have a 1/4" inside diameter.
That is why the MPI 315-014 Type B hose uses Oetiker 4-133, while the MPI 314-1 Type A hose uses Oetiker 4-170.
What This Fuel Hose is Used For
MPI 315-014 1/4" Type B fuel hose can be used for building, replacing or repairing marine fuel lines where 1/4" hose and a Type B classification are appropriate.
Because this hose is sold in bulk by the foot, it can be paired with the correct primer bulb, fittings and clamps to create a custom-length fuel-line assembly.
Building a 1/4" Outboard Fuel Line
A typical 1/4" outboard fuel-line assembly may require:
- MPI 315-014 1/4" Type B marine fuel hose
- Pro Marine 8002 1/4" primer bulb
- Correct tank-side fitting or connection
- Correct engine-side fitting or connector
- Oetiker 4-133 ear clamps
- Oetiker pincer installation tool
The exact components required depend on the engine, fuel tank and overall fuel-system layout.
Primer Bulb Selection
Primer bulb fittings should match the inside diameter of the fuel hose. For this 1/4" hose, use the Pro Marine 8002 1/4" Primer Bulb.

How to Order Bulk Fuel Hose
This hose is sold by the foot. Select the quantity based on the total continuous length of hose required for your installation.
For example, if you need approximately 8 feet of fuel hose, order a quantity of 8.
What Does USCG Type B1/B2 Fuel Hose Mean?
Marine fuel hose classifications help identify where and how a hose is designed to be used within a boat's fuel system.
The "B" designation identifies marine fuel hose that does not carry the same USCG fire-test requirement as Type A hose. For that reason, Type B hose is commonly associated with exposed or above-deck fuel-line installations, while Type A hose is the appropriate choice where the installation requires the additional fire-resistant Type A classification.
The numbers "1" and "2" refer to fuel permeation performance. Type 1 is the lower-permeation classification and is the classification normally associated with fuel-feed hose intended to contain fuel continuously. Type 2 permits greater permeation and is used for applications such as certain fill and vent arrangements.
| Fuel Hose Type | General Use | Fire-Test Requirement |
|---|---|---|
| Type A1 | Fuel-feed applications including installations requiring Type A protection | Yes |
| Type A2 | Certain fill and vent applications requiring Type A protection | Yes |
| Type B1 | Fuel-feed applications where Type B hose is permitted | No Type A fire-test rating |
| Type B2 | Certain fill and vent applications where Type B hose is permitted | No Type A fire-test rating |
Do not choose fuel hose based on diameter alone. The required USCG hose classification depends on where and how the hose is installed.
For installations requiring Type A1/A2 marine fuel hose, use our 5/16" Type A fuel hose instead.

View Oetiker Clamp PackMercury OEM 5/16" Fuel Hose Available
Prefer the Mercury factory fuel hose? Pro Marine also stocks Mercury OEM 5/16" silver fuel hose sold by the foot.
The Mercury hose uses a different outside diameter than this MPI hose and therefore requires a different Oetiker clamp: 4-145.
Why Doesn't Every 5/16" Fuel Hose Use the Same Clamp?
5/16" identifies the hose's inside diameter, not its outside diameter. Different hose constructions can have different wall thicknesses and therefore different outside diameters.
That is why this MPI 315-056 Type B hose uses Oetiker clamp 4-153, while the Mercury OEM 5/16" silver hose uses Oetiker clamp 4-145.
Always match the clamp to the specific hose being installed rather than selecting a clamp based only on the hose's inside diameter.
What This Fuel Hose is Used For
This 5/16" bulk marine fuel hose can be used when building, repairing or replacing fuel lines in compatible marine applications where USCG Type B hose is appropriate.
Selling the hose by the foot allows boat owners and marine technicians to build the required length and add the appropriate primer bulb, connectors, fittings and clamps for the specific installation.
Building a 5/16" Outboard Fuel Line
A typical 5/16" outboard fuel-line setup may require:
- 5/16" marine fuel hose
- 5/16" primer bulb
- Correct engine-side fuel fitting or connector
- Correct tank-side fitting or connection
- Correctly sized Oetiker ear clamps
- Oetiker pincer tool for clamp installation
The exact components depend on the engine, fuel tank and layout of the boat's fuel system.

FAQ
What size is this fuel hose?
This hose has a 5/16" inside diameter.
Is the hose sold by the foot?
Yes. Order the quantity corresponding to the number of feet needed for
your installation.
What does USCG Type B mean?
Type B marine fuel hose meets the applicable SAE marine fuel-hose
performance classification but does not carry the same USCG fire-test
requirement as Type A hose. It is commonly used in exposed or above-deck
applications where Type B hose is permitted.
What is the difference between B1 and B2?
The number identifies the hose's permeation classification. Type 1 has
the lower permeation limit and is normally associated with fuel-feed
applications intended to contain fuel continuously. Type 2 allows greater
permeation and is used for certain other fuel-system applications.
Can I use this hose below deck?
Fuel-hose requirements depend on the installation. For enclosed or
below-deck installations requiring the Type A fire-resistant
classification, use the
5/16" Type A fuel hose
.
Which Oetiker clamp fits this hose?
Use the
Oetiker 4-153 ear clamp
with this MPI 315-056 hose.
Which primer bulb fits this hose?
The
Pro Marine 8004 5/16" Primer Bulb
is the matching hose size.
Do you sell a Mercury OEM 5/16" fuel hose?
Yes. Pro Marine stocks
Mercury OEM 5/16" silver fuel hose
by the foot. The Mercury hose uses Oetiker clamp 4-145 rather than the
4-153 clamp used with this MPI hose.
Why are there different clamps for two 5/16" hoses?
The 5/16" measurement refers to inside diameter. Hose outside diameter can
vary depending on wall thickness and construction, so the correct Oetiker
clamp must be matched to the specific 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.

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.
