Try Cox International: https://coxengines.ca/  They have fuel line for the .020s and .049s.

They only charge you what it actually costs to ship them.  For instance, my last order a couple of days ago cost $3.45 for shipping.

I have used tygon from a local hardware store. They sell small diameter stuff for leaf blowers.

And in a pinch, I used the IV line from my back surgery recovery. The doc and nurse looked at me funny when I told them why I wanted it.

    When I was a kid, Post Cereals used to put short lengths of colored tubing in cereal boxes and called them "Silly Straws". They advertised them on TV also.  My favorite cereal was Post Super Sugar Crisp ( it still is!) and I asked my Mom to lay in a lot of it after we found out it worked well for 1/2A fuel line!  Came is several pretty colors also.

Gil, I got some from Andy's a few months ago.   It may not be listed as 1/2a over there but I found the Small size to work.
