Airtech,

The Sullivan and TME deluxe version come with everything you need except for the tank and battery. They give you about a foot of neoprene for the muffler connection.

Basically it goes like this

You can use tygon for these steps

Tank -> pump inlet -> pump outlet -> check valve inlet

Neoprene goes next

check valve outlet -> muffler.

I usually use a 2 or 3 inch piece between the check valve and muffler. It's just long enough to keep the check valve away from the heat.

You can use the neoprene in the tank but I usually do not. I replace all my fuel lines every season so I just do the smoke systems at the same time. I know that's a bit overkill but A) Tygon gets stiff over time B) Neoprene gets slippery in the tank and brittle from the heat at the muffler after about a year. I'd rather spend 30 dollars on a roll of tygon and another 30 dollars on a roll of neoprene than have to try to clean up fuel/smoke oil. If you ever have to do that once you'll understands what I'm sayin' [:'(][&:]
