Common Fuel System Problems
- Hard starting: often primer bulb, fuel hose restrictions, clogged filters, or carb issues.
- Bogging on throttle: commonly fuel delivery restriction or carburetor rebuild needed.
- Stalling at idle: check carb passages, gaskets/seals, and fuel filter condition.
- Fuel leaks / air leaks: inspect hose fittings, clamps, and gasket surfaces.
Tip: When diagnosing fuel issues, work from the tank forward—primer bulb and hose first, then filters, then carburetion.
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.

| Fuel Hose | Type | Recommended Clamp |
|---|---|---|
| MPI 313-1 | Type A Low-Permeation | Oetiker 4-170 |
| 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.

Same Clamp for Both 3/8" Fuel Hoses
Unlike some of the smaller fuel-hose sizes, both of these 3/8" fuel-line options use the same Oetiker 4-185 clamp.
That means the clamp selection stays the same whether you choose the Type A or Type B 3/8" hose. The main decision between the two hoses is the required marine fuel-hose classification for the installation.
