Fuel line

[slomo]

Look it is the greed of corporate of American and not the President. Besides he has 535 bosses in Congress that can't even decide which screw they are going to screw the American public with. It is like a bunch of kids fighting over a cookie and no one gets anywhere. Until the American voter comes to their senses and vote for representatives that actually will do their job and not just out for themselves while lying to the voters we are not going to get anywhere fast other than going down the toilet. (IE going to heck in a hand basket)

As for the fuel line I am currently using HBD Industries 25060 Thermoid NBR/PVC SAE30R7 Fuel Line Hose. But most auto parts will sell you the cheapest things they can get from China.

And that clear hose will also get hard and has to replaced every so often. Matter of fact I got replace the drain lines on my USC now because the hose is rock hard.

​

Hardness doesn't bother me. Leaks sure do. That foot of vinyl is 6 year old now on my push mower. Makes me nervous to use it, sure. Any problems with it, no. ????

Hardness can be an issue sometimes.

That is all i use now. I think it is way better than silicone RTV products. Put it in and tighten to finger tight then wait 20-30 minutes then final torque.

Ever had a tube of RTV that would not cure? I just had a tube of Permatex Ultra Grey that didn't cure after two days. I usually have good luck with it and the Ultra Black version. Yes it takes overnight to set up properly but I have the time as I usually off to another job while awaiting its curing. If get in a big hurry I could alway apply some the Tuff Torq aluminum RTV I have here, IT start setting up before I even get things together.

You know I think it is called multitasking. Sorta like me this morning listening to the toons, drinking a couple cups of coffee, typing this message, and petting a hen. All while thinking today's projects.
