Title: Fuel line source?
Post by: John Rist on August 13, 2014, 10:12:45 AM

The standard 1/2A fuel line has too small of an inside diameter.  Somewhere I came up with some thin walled tubing that works great.  I think it came from one of the brothers on this web site that bought bulk and sold off some of it.   I am running out and need a source.  Any help would be appreciated.

I am tempted to order this, same ID as "medium" but much thinner wall. 

I am having /was having problems with clunks not settling to the bottom on small tanks and used stuff I got from Texas timers last year.

For what its worth, I was able to pick up some tygon fuel line at a local hardware dealer who stocks it for leaf blowers.

The local lawnmower/chainsaw shop near me has all kind of sizes.  It is rather stiff compared to silicone, and compared to the LHS (an hour drive each way) it is very similar in price, without the drive.  I have used it on planes before and it generally works well.  It cannot be pinched for bladder use though.
