Silicone fuel tubing
« on: February 20, 2014, 04:49:01 PM »
What brand of silicone tubing are people using, both for internal clunk tanks and connections tank to engine.  Here all I can get easily is the very heavy (DUBRO?) tubing meant I think for cars.  Right now I've got the last of my Sig tubing in my clunk tank.

   Prather for the external tubing. Although the car stuff seems fine if you can ignore the fluorescent pink, etc. I don't use a lot of clunk tanks, and so far I have used whatever comes in the package with the Sullivan tanks. It has lasted many, many years so far.

A few years ago I bought a spool of Prather "Pink" tubing and use it on all my important stuff.  For the others, I often use color tubing which is easy to find. ;D

So no one else buys 10ft at a time from McMaster-Carr?  I had some problems with the stuff from the local hobby shop and was ordering from McMaster-Carr anyway.  Been using it since 2011.  It's a bit stiffer than the hobby stuff, but it hasn't melted in my fuel jugs like the hobby stuff either.
