Local Source for Fuel Tubing?
Any suggestions for a local source for fueld tubing besides a hobby shop? Tygon, neoprene, whatever, just has to be gas compatible. Didn't know if this is such a specialty item that it can only be found in hobby shops...

Neoprene is available at auto parts stores. Saw and trimmer clear gas line is available at small engine repair and home improvement stores.

Many auto parts shops can fix you right up with several varieties of types of tubing.

The best fuel tubing is Hayes Products molded neoprene from Custom Injection Molding in California...I just bought 100 feet, cost is 45 cents/foot at that quantity...
Might be possible to find some at the LHS, or you can get some from me....
It doesn't slip off the tubing, even without tie wraps or wires...
It works with ALL gassers up to and including 157cc 3W twins...
It is the best for clunks, as it will not slip off the brass tube and will not harden in the fuel...
Only bad part is you can't see the fuel being pulled into the carb....

Are you willing to sell a few chunks of the "good stuff" to your customers? <G>
My G62 is winging its way in your direction, by the way. Give it "The Woiks".

RE: Local Source for Fuel Tubing?
OK.....let me rephrase that.....the Tygon I bought is the same stuff we buy from the LHS......I've been using it on all my gassers and with my Turbine and Kerosene.....I thought the refrence to "tygon' might goof things up.......
