Guy's I am needing some 1/8" x 12" copper tubing to build some fuel tanks.
Where are you getting yours?
Thanks

Brodak sell all sizes.
Be sure and anneal it before using.

Try auto shops. It is used for installing oil pressure gauges. Also at A/C shops and plumbing supplies.

Any place that has a K&S rack will have copper tubing. Also annealed brass if you want that. Copper is available in 1/16",3/32", 1/8" and 5/32" I believe. All of the mail order places stock and sell K&S products. My local True Value Hardware store even has a K&S rack. I always keep at least two or three packs if 1/8" on hand and use the copper in any Sullivan plastic tanks I use. Already annealed in the package also.
Type at you later,

Meant to get a roll of 1/8 from the builders supplies. they all had it. Held off. NOW THERES NONE . in Aus. boo hoo .
BEWARE = the Thick Wall 1/8 is ideal for vent / uniflow pipes & bends good, but is o.k. for a G-15 or a .25 stunt, .
but marginal on a .35 and USELESS on a .40 up .
Leaned of above 45 Deg Up on the FSR Consitantly .
Dunno How it got in as a FEED PIPE , I mustve picked up tthe wrong tube doing the tank.
Advantage with the small bore on the vent is It Doesnt SURGE ( Pressure ) as bad , in rough air / Tight Corners .
