Fuel lines.
Are the Suzuki and Tohatsu fuel line fittings the same, they look similar?
Local shop has the Suzuki lines but not Tohatsu.

Optimax 90 HP outboard.
I am thinking of putting one on a 5.6 m Avon for diving use.
Are they reliable and as fuel efficient as the blurb says?
Any opinions, good or bad, gratefully received.
