Default Prather fuel line substitution?

I have been using Prather fuel line for quite awhile now. I've been extremely pleased with it. Well, I've only got a couple of feet left on my 30' spool. I need to order some servos so I figured I'd get another spool while I was at it. Well, Tower is showing that it has been discontinued (click me). Can anyone recommend a line that is of the same high quality as the Prather?

Just because Tower isn't stocking a product, doesn't mean it's gone. I too was a little taken back when I went to order some Prather and the folks in Champaign didn't have it. Grrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!

Check with Prather directly....I haven't done so.

Aerotrend Blue Line is a good fuel line, as are a bunch of others. None of them last forever anyway, so buy something that fits and be done with it.

Another vote for Aerotrend Blueline - I've had a great run out of it so far...

I use Sig Silicone and Aerotrend Blue. The Sig stuff is good inside your tank because it's very soft and floppy and those lightweight Sullivan clunks will actually touch the top of the tank when inverted.

Prather has closed their doors, forever, so it's going to be a bit difficult to check with them.

However, their product line has been bought by [link=http://www.hyperformanceproducts.com]Hyperformance Products, Inc.[/link] and they are in the process of making things available again.

I like the Prather better than any others I've tried. I've got about half a spool left. Thanks for the info, Chuck. Not bad for a DBG! Will be on the lookout for it.
