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 |

| 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

Sierra Marine Fuel / Water Separator Filter
Sierra 18-7920 Fuel / Water Separator - 10 Micron - 1"-12 Thread
The Sierra 18-7920 Fuel / Water Separator is a 10-micron spin-on replacement filter designed for universal marine fuel filtration applications using a 1"-12 thread.
This filter uses the large center-hole configuration and is designed to help remove water and fine contaminants from the fuel supply before they reach the engine.
Sierra 18-7920 cross references popular Mercury, Johnson / Evinrude, OMC, Racor and Fram fuel / water separator numbers listed below.
Thread: 1"-12
Filtration: 10 Micron
Style: Spin-On Replacement

Universal Marine Application
Sierra 18-7920 is a universal replacement fuel / water separator filter for compatible marine filter heads using a 1"-12 threaded filter.
Because this filter is used across multiple marine engine brands and fuel systems, fitment should be determined by the filter-head thread and the existing filter cross-reference number rather than by engine horsepower alone.
This is the large-hole 1"-12 thread style fuel / water separator.
Compare your existing filter number and filter-head thread before ordering. Marine fuel separator filters may look very similar while using different center-hole sizes or thread pitches.
What a Fuel / Water Separator Does
A marine fuel / water separator helps protect the engine fuel system by removing water and particulate contamination before the fuel reaches the engine.
Water can enter a marine fuel system through condensation, contaminated fuel or moisture in the tank. The separator provides an additional stage of filtration before the engine-mounted fuel filter or fuel injection system.
10-Micron Filtration
The Sierra 18-7920 is rated at 10 microns, allowing it to capture fine fuel contaminants while separating water from the fuel supply.
Maintaining a clean fuel / water separator can help reduce the chance of restricted fuel flow and contamination reaching carburetors, fuel pumps or fuel injection components.
When Should a Fuel / Water Separator Be Replaced?
Replacement intervals vary based on engine use, fuel quality and operating conditions. Fuel / water separator filters should be inspected and replaced as part of regular marine engine maintenance.
Replacement should also be considered whenever contaminated fuel or water in the fuel system is suspected.
Common Reasons for Replacement
- Routine annual or seasonal maintenance
- Water found in the fuel system
- Contaminated or stale fuel
- Restricted fuel flow
- Engine fuel starvation symptoms
- Unknown age of the existing fuel separator
- Replacing Fram CH33APL
- Replacing Johnson / Evinrude or OMC 771839
- Replacing Mercury 35-809099
- Replacing Racor B32014 or S3214
Installation Notes
Confirm that the filter head uses the correct 1"-12 thread before installation.
Follow the engine or filter-head manufacturer's installation procedure. Inspect the filter-head sealing surface and make sure the old filter gasket has been completely removed before installing the replacement.
