Default RE: Fuji Film tank revisited

ORIGINAL: rrragmanliam

Highly flexible silicone fuel tube can be had from sig #sh284 and Sullivan #201.

I had read on the forum that the Sullivan tubing was very flexible -- I used the insulation only because the LHS was out of small and I didn't want to wait and pay shipping from one of the mail orders. The insulation looks like it will hold up OK and it's readily available locally. And, I'm always looking for alternate ways of doing something -- some work and some don't -- but it's all part of our hobby.

just make one with a piece of 1/8" tubing and a couple of 1/8" wheel collars

rrragmanliam: Do you solder them? I think I would.
I haven't, but probably should (someone once said, "Expediency is the downfall of the fool) -- DuBro and Great Plains collars are brass with chrome or nickle plating -- probably to get a good stick, the plating should be removed. A little quick work with a Dremel would do it.
