Where to get stock fuel tubing

[juntjoo]

Where do you get stock of this trimmer fuel line? If I'm gonna spend $15 and I just want tube then I'd prefer a roll of it than have to get a couple pieces and carburetor I don't need

I think I found some on Amazon. They sell in four different sizes though. But they do have the smallest and several feet of all for $10-15 so I think I'm good. Was hoping to find it locally though

Actually O'Reilly's got some comparable tubing for 80 cents a foot....

Just found some at O'Reilly's. Ace was gonna be my next stop though. They got the rare stuff the other big box stores don't have

Careful with some of the cheap amazon stuff. It doesn't last near as long as the "real deal".. i prefer Stens Tru Blue

Well the last Amazon replacement I got the grommet there with the three holes wasn't leak tight so I went through that whole kit with this leak.

Just grabbed another. I try to reuse parts when possible, particularly to learn what went wrong last time, so using this O'Reilly fuel line which is actually fatter than the oem tube requiring me to widen my current grommet with too wide of holes. I also did grab oem tube from this lawn equipment store we have, I just went to last to try to see what else was available, big difference in $/ft.

So no more leaking but... I'll start another thread...

But for me TruBlue is a con job as it failed in house testing. It harden and shrunk in 10% ethanol @ cycle mix after 30 days. They claim doesn't do either but it did here.

I just stick Tygon F-4040 line and the Echo rubber lines.

Hmm, never had any trouble on my 2 cycle equipment or any comebacks with it.

There are sellers on ebay selling kockoff line and saying it is authentic Tygon. Real Tygon has white writing on it. None of the knockoff stuff holds up. I only use Tygon F4040, OEM Honda and Echo line
