Any marine supply store should have some in stock.

Check out this price. It might be cheaper to just get the whole 50 ft roll, if you need more than 14 ft at the worst price.

Hell I'll take some of it if you want to sell the extra off!

Lewis beat me to it... go see Ben at Cost plus marine in Madeira Beach  Of American Discount Marine in St Pete / Pinellas Park on 66th st just south of 62nd ave.  Both of them have it in stock by the foot.

This place is hard to be beat and sold by the foot  http://www.foreandaftmarine.com/FUELHOSECERT.HTM  This is where I purchased my Fill and Feed lines.  They dont have an actual store front, but you can pick up your order from the warehouse which is located in Madeira Beach, same plaza that Worst Marine express use to be in.

You need to get the red-stripe USCG approved lines, and they will have alcohol resistant marked on the side of the line.

Carl if you go down that way be sure to go a bit further down the beach to Cost Plus Marine.  It's a small place PACKED with stuff at very good prices.  Ben the owner is a nice guy.  It's in a bright yellow building on the west side of the road.  Of course he has fuel line in stock.  You'll need 3/8" to feed that 200 of yours!

You have to order it online, then pick it up, next day.

Bruce is right about Cost Plus, excellent prices, and very helpful.
