No the stuff you posted a link to is clear. Not the same. TheHayes neoprene that I posted is the good stuff. I learned that from RCIGN. He's a wise old man.
Joe,
Keep an eye on the neoprene. We had some issues last year using neoprene (I'm not sure it was Hayes brand). The neoprene was breaking down and spliting. My tank was a standard dubro, gas stopper, and brass tubing (no barbs). On my Yak, the neoprene split near the stopper. Also, my filter screen had black particles matted in it. I had to burn it out.
Itold a flying buddy using neoprene from the same batch to check his, and his inline filter (between the tank and carb) was full of the black particles. He had to replace the filter (couldn't get the stuff out). I'm pretty sure it wasn't Hayes... I'm thinking it was dubro neoprene Igot at the LHS.
I think you're right, it was the Dubro. I've seen threads/posts about this in the past. The Dubro has a seem that splits and I remember the black stuff falling apart in the tank. I'll still keep an eye on mine but I've been using the Hayesfor years. The tanks, carb screens are all clear of any black debris. The Hayes is seemless. RCIGN recommended the Hayes to me years ago and apparently he's been using it forever with good results.
What Dubro does very well are those reddish/brown gas stoppers. Those work awesome. Their tygon is good too. But their neoprene seems to have issues.
