Default How often to replace tygon?

Hey Guys, how often should I replace my Tygon fuel lines, inside and outside the tank? The outsides look fine, but have darkened with the oil in the gas and aren't as flexible as new, but it still is far from brittle or anything.

The Tygon doesn't last long at all inside the tank. But if you use it, replace when it turns miky.

Outside the tank it should be OK when slightly stiff, but you have to remove a connection for any reason, you best replace it with new Tygon.

There are many companies that make Tygon and some of it varies as to how long it holds up.

By Tygon, I usually think of the variety that was clear when new but there are other colors or brands. Some brands hold up fairly well inside the tank.

Enjoy,

Jim

Mine is from Dubro and says Tygon 4040 on it. I had it for 1 year and just replaced it all today, but that seemed excessive.
