1/4 ID gasser fuel line in bulk?
Wondering if any of you buy this type of fuel line for gas engines in bulk anywhere without paying $2.00 per foot or more? Amazon carries it but they want $14.19 for only a 5ft roll; that works out to 2.83 per foot.
I fly giant scale civilian class airplanes and often I'll use 3 to 4 feet per plane, so I'm looking to maybe purchase a 30 foot roll or similar.
Anyone have info about who I can contact to get a good deal on this type/grade of fuel line would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Sophia Pena

McMaster Carr is the vendor of choice. They have Viton and Tygon. For Tygon the p/n is 5552K23. Viton p/n is 5119K41. Both 1/8” ID. Viton for your line to the carb and the clunk line in the tank. Tygon for the vent line to save $$. Viton lasts almost forever, Tygon will need replacement every year or so. Buy at least 10’ lengths to reduce waste and save $$. I buy at least 25’ each order.
