Title: glow fuel tubing
Post by: Bootlegger on April 16, 2018, 01:35:48 PM

  Fellows I am looking for some soft 3/32" I D fuel tubing similar to that came the Kraft Hayes tanks, the tanks are small so I need a tubing that will flex in a confined space.

  Any leads/help will be greatly appreciatedly...

   I would strongly recommend Sullivan Pro-Flex - it is extremely flexible, almost as much as gum rubber, but doesn't *appear* to self-destruct like gum rubber. I caveat it because I haven't used it for long (since it hasn't existed for long) so I can't say for sure it is as durable as silicone.

Gil, I needed something similar to fit through a shut off bellcrank on a combat plane. From McMaster Carr I bought 2 kinds one clear and one white that are extremely flexible. I use them in Hayes tanks as well. Kind of a pain to get on a barb but it does work. I can send you some of each to try. PM me your address and I get it out to you tomorrow.
