Default RE: Fuel Tubing Problem

I've got some "standard" tubing I got from the LHS a bit back that has a hole so small that I can't get it off the barbs to fuel the plane. One part that I cut into had the hole off center also. Another length of a different tubing from the LHS that I was using for the pickup on my pump took a dislike to Cool power when I tried it. I had been using the tubing for over a year with Omega and at the half gallon mark with the Cool Power, the tubing broke off at fuel level and droppen in the jug. When I fished it out, it was gooey and crumbly below fuel level and like new above. I ditched the remainer of the jug and went back to Omega.

So, Tower and the LHS both seem to be a crap shoot for getting good tubing. Where to go next???
