280-G Question: What size is the fuel hose?
For winterization, VP's manual instructs running a 50:1 mixture of gasoline/oil through the engine. This is done by disconnecting the fuel line and connecting a marine gas tank to the engine with the 50:1 gas. I plan to get a 3 gallon marine tank for this purpose and connect it to my engine with a hose/prime-bulb. What size hose will connect to the engine--5/16 or 3/8? Thanks.

Not sure on that injected series. just remove your fuel filter and put a mix in a fresh one, and run it for 15 seconds on water muffs using your flush mix for the engine.
Someone may know the proper way of have kit info for yours.

It is 3/8 inch. Check out this thread below. I list all the parts to convert your system with Barb fittings which I couldn’t get disconnected to spin off fitting.jma2@fuse.net wrote: Mon Sep 03, 2018 4:25 pm For winterization, VP's manual instructs running a 50:1 mixture of gasoline/oil through the engine.
