Default Fuel tubing

Remember that neat thin wall fuel tubing that came in the Cox Dragonflys? Check this out, I think I just might've found the stuff (or something mighty close). I've always been somewhat unhappy with the available '1/2A' fuel tubing...this might be the answer. I'll be following this up on Monday. Stay tuned!

Sullivan makes some nice 1/2A fuel tubing.

What's the wall thickness of Sullivan tubing? The stuff I'm looking at is just a little over 1/64" thick. All the 1/2A tubing I've seen is 1/32 thick. If this stuff works, it'll be a heckuva lot better in teeny tanks.

d_t, I think Hank Nystrom (Texas Timers) is selling that stuff. I have a ziplock bag full of his tubing. It's nice stuff.

If the TT tubing is that yellow stuff, change it often. Glow fuel breaks it down.

No, it is clear silicon. It's not as soft as surgical tubing, though. It reminds me of the stuff they use for IVs. Not that I go around getting transfusions like Keef.

1/64 sounds pretty thin, I would be leery of it......let someone else try it first, then report back here.
