Export thread

In anticipation of putting a right angle shut off valve on my Lawn-Boy (specs in my sig) I purchased a length of new fuel line and shut-off valve on eBay. I received my new fuel line Friday (still waiting on the shut-off valve) and now I'm wondering if it's the best kind for a 2-cycle engine (gas/oil mix) or for gas containing ethanol.

This is what I purchased, FUEL LINE 1/4" x 1/2" SOLD BY THE FOOT - SAME AS WHAT YOU HAVE ON YOUR MACHINE
Marked on it is: 1/4" (6.35mm) I.D. SAE-30R7-KX 078698506012 - MADE IN U.S.A. 04 16 13

Is it good for 2-cycle fuel mix? Is it good for gas with ethanol?

Would Tygon F-4040-A line be a better choice?

Thanks.

Any fuel line you can buy these days will be OK for fuel with ethanol. Two-cycle vs four-cucle doesn't matter for this.

Hi-

I like the clear colored lines (polyurethane) found here:

Helix Racing Colored Fuel Line - BikeBandit.com

good for any gas with or without E10. The smaller line is OK as the primer line also.

I ended up using the "traditional" variety that I had already purchased, but I can see where the clear lines have the advantage of being able to see the fuel flowing.
