I have had troublesome plastic tubing in other situations. Sometimes it
works well to insert a spring.

That was my thought as well. I tried a spring from a pen, but it was to large to go in. Maybe I could have found a smaller one. I suppose it could have been wrapped it on the outside of the tube. Or A small wire instead of the spring wrapped on the outside would do as well. What I've ended up with is a tube , same quarter inch od. But the ID. Is about 15 thousands smaller. The heavier wall is less likely to kink, as seen in side by side comparison. Who knows what time, heat, vibration, fuel vapors, etc will do.

I have tried to eliminate plastic tubing from my airplane to the extent possible; it is incredibly unreliable. For those places where it does not seem possible to eliminate it, and all you want is a vent, how about something like this in 1/8 OD inside your plastic tubing instead of a spring? At 18 cents a foot, you have nothing to lose...

Or this?

If the stock tubing is installed correctly, it normally doesn't crimp, but
Nyloflow tubing would certainly keep it from it.
