I'm getting ready to install the fuel lines from the wing tanks to the header tank. My kit came with the rubber tubing that is not supposed to be use so I need a replacement. I saw some clear vinyl tubing at the hardware store and thought it maybe suitable. Any opinions out there? Thanks in advance

Dan, the hardware store variety is made of vinyl and in a very short time

will harden up and be leak prone.  Over a longer period of time it can

actually get brittle to the point where any excess flexing can cause it to

crack.  ACS has the Bing lines and also any

motorcycle/snowmachine/waverunner shop should have the correct stuff to use

that will hold up.

I have used the clear vinyl tubing to replace my sight tube and it has worked for over a year and also has not discolored as did the original tubing furnished.

I am going to use Tygon tubing to replace the clear plastic with - the shop where I bought it said that it is standard for using with auto fuel.

Dan, when I replaced mine a year ago, I used fule line

from a place that sells snowmobiles, ATV's and

motorcycles.  It has yellowed a bit in the year, but

not deteriorated despite lots of gas through it.  We

have alcohol in our car gas in CA.
