Default Tygon for Nitro?

Can you use tygon fuel lines for nitro fuel? I know you are not supposed to use nitro lines for gas but was not sure if it went the other way or not.

Hello; Yes you Can. I got a roll of it from a power saw shop that was closing up. I first used it as a clunk line to see if it was okay, it was. I forgot which plane I had it on until I destroyed the plane and had to take the tank out of it. It was my Midwest suhkoi. I probably ran 4 or 5 gallons of 15% through it over the years, no problem. It does get hard to get off and on the nipple after awhile, but I've never had a dead stick because of it.
