Here we have a cracked fuel fill hose. Now some of you may say "Big deal!, it still looks fine!" The way the hose is installed it is not only kinked but you can see the deep cracks in the hose if you look close. Could you keep using it the way it is? Sure. Will it start leaking fuel eventually? Yes. Is it worth replacing a cheap piece of hose on a 110,000$ boat to give you peace of mind and to prevent a possible explosion? Absolutely. This is USCG type A2 fuel fill hose made specifically for using as fuel fill. Do not replace with anything but this! Hire us to survey that boat before you purchase it! We find things other surveyors don't.
