Mercury – Fuel Line Assembly | Fuel System | Gray Low-Permeation Hose | 8M0094232

Overview

There’s a certain comfort that comes from gear you don’t have to question — especially when that gear sits between your fuel tank and your outboard. One squeeze of the primer bulb, that firm pressure rising just the way it should, and you already know the engine’s going to start clean and strong. It’s the kind of moment that sets the tone for a great day on the water. The Mercury Fuel Line Assembly 8M0094232 is built to give you that confident, steady feeling every time you leave the dock. Whether you’re working your way through a quiet channel or running across open water, this assembly keeps fuel flowing smooth and predictable so you can focus on the ride instead of the equipment behind it.

Key Features

• Five-sixteenth-inch inside diameter hose for consistent, reliable fuel flow

Performance & Practical Benefits

From the very first squeeze of the primer bulb, you’ll feel the quality — firm, predictable, and smooth, with none of the soft or spongy hesitation you get from lower-grade assemblies. The hose routes easily through tight rigging channels, bends smoothly around corners, and resists collapsing even when the boat takes on chop or shifts under weight. That flexibility keeps fuel delivery stable no matter the conditions.

On hot summer days, when the deck heats up fast, the gray coating plays an important role by reflecting heat rather than absorbing it. That helps keep the fuel line cooler and reduces the chances of vapor lock, especially during long runs. The low-permeation materials help limit gasoline odor and slow fuel evaporation, which is especially helpful if your boat is stored in an enclosed space. Over the long haul, the hose maintains its flexibility instead of turning brittle or cracking, while the primer bulb keeps its crisp, dependable feel. The result is easier starts, steadier idle, and fewer mid-season surprises.

Why Buy OEM

Genuine Mercury Marine parts are built to the same engineering standards as the engines they support. Everything — from the hose composition to the internal components of the primer bulb — is designed for real-world marine use. Aftermarket assemblies may look similar, but they often fall short in longevity, priming strength, or consistency. Choosing OEM means better fitment, more dependable operation, and the peace of mind that comes from using parts built specifically for your engine. It’s the practical choice experienced boaters make because it keeps their time on the water smooth and worry-free.
