Default Perfect fuel line for 049, 061 ?

I have dubro small, its too small for the td and norvel nipples. Dubro medium is too thick. I found an unknown fuel line that is perfect but I don't know whereI got it. Its not so thin that it kinks easy but thick enough that it holds its shape and is perfect fit on the nipples..

Who has the best fuel line?

If the fuel line is hard to get on. Heating the tip of the line in hot water will make it alot easer.

Hmm the perfect fuel line, I have a few and by now it is hard to know were they came from originally...

A few of my favourites have been the stock Thunder tiger fuel line that came with the TT07GP, and there was also another very good one from HPI that Tower used to sell.
