I am doing service on an f18 and noticed the clunkes were not moving.So I took the tanks apart and found that the tygon supplied with the kit got super stiff and they would barely move. I decided to put some new oring type fittings in and get ride of the leaky black ones. The fittings fit the hole with out modifieng the tank.

fei bao had the same problem a year ago
i guess the seller of the tygon found another victim

we use that tygon now as wing tubes
Last month when I was there we tested the supplied tygon and found that it get stiff in two days, so Fei Bao is now supplying the tanks with a new silicone fuel line (dark color) that is very resistant, we left in kerosene for 15 days and it was very soft, so if any Fei Bao customer need to replace their inside tank fuel line please contact me at [email protected] for the replacement.
