I use the same for both two and four stroke glow engines, lillbill11. Brass, copper or aluminum for the tank. For fuel line, the same silicone as for two strokes.

THANKS EVERYONE VERY MUCH
I WAS UNDER THE IMPRESSION THAT IF IT HAS MORE OIL IN IT THAT IT WOULD EAT THE TUBING.
IT REALLY HELPS TO HAVE MEMBERS IN THE KNOW.
THANKS AGAIN-------------BILL

Actually most guys run 4 cycles on less oil anyway. I don't but that's just me. I go by what the manufacturers recommend.

The only time you can't use silicone tubing is with either gas or diesel engines. Their mineral based fuels (petrol or kerosene) softens and swells silicone. As far as I know there aren't any oils used in glow fuels that will affect silicone tubing. Gas and diesel engines use Tygon tubing instead.
