I pulled out the Onan to have a better look at it and I was scared to push it back in after I felt the fuel line, it's pretty old and hard. I don't want to touch it until I have the proper line and fittings, but of course, things are never that straightforward. Info from previous owner is that something was leaking near the carb, maybe the carb

Anyhow, it appear to have a compression fitting, but also a hose clamp, so I'm not sure how much of a stub sticking out, but it probably doesn't have a barb on it. I'll go shop for better fittings tomorrow.
Let me guess, it's not quite stock Very Happy

I have some 1/4" Goodyear Instagrip I hose, any reason not to use it? The clear stuff is nice to see gas in, but it looks delicate.
Should I also stick an inline filter back there?
