This yellow plastic tubing is made of Tygon formulation F-4040-A and is designed for transferring with fuel and lubricants, including gasoline and coolants. The translucent tubing permits limited ozone and ultraviolet (UV) light filtration while allowing visual flow monitoring, and the yellow color provides quick visual identification from other system tubing. The Tygon formulation F-4040-A plastic construction is designed for use with various fuels and lubricants, including gasoline, kerosene, heating oils, cutting compounds, and glycol-based coolants. It resists the swelling, hardening, and embrittlement typically caused by hydrocarbon-based fluids. The tubing has a working temperature range of -35 to 165 degrees F, a durometer (hardness) of 57A, and the working pressure ratings vary by tube size. This plastic tubing is rated as very flexible as it bends more easily than flexible or rigid tubing. The tubing is suitable for non-potable fluid service transferring coolants, heating fuels, polishing fluids and other lubricants, and for engine line and garden hose applications, among others.
Plastic tubing is used to transfer liquids, air, or solids, and it is characterized by a round, rectangular, or square shape and a hollow center. Plastic tubing is crimp-resistant and varies in bend radius (flexibility), chemical resistance, wall thickness, durometer hardness, and temperature and pressure handling abilities. The clarity of plastic tubing may be transparent (clear), translucent (semi-clear), or opaque (solid), and the tubing's coloring may indicate suitable applications. Barbed fittings are used to connect tubing or redirect flow in a fluid handling system. Plastic tubing is used in a wide variety of industries, such as agriculture, automotive, laboratory, and medicine. Applications for plastic tubing include blood and fluid handling, peristaltic pumps, electrical and thermal insulation, analytical systems, and food and beverage handling, among others.
Saint-Gobain Corporation manufactures plastic tubing for the food and beverage, chemical processing, industrial, laboratory, medical, pharmaceutical, and semiconductor processing industries under the Tygon brand in the Saint-Gobain Performance Plastics sector. Founded in 1665, the company is headquartered in Courbevoie, France, and operates 45 plastics manufacturing sites worldwide.

This stuff stands up to our junk Cali fuel with ethanol for several years compared to the vinyl junk found commonly. Tygon is all I'll use anymore.

I've been messing around with a new Diesel heater. I love the unit, but the green fuel line and how its attached is not what I would like. A lot of folks say it degenerates and gets hard and brittle fairly quickly, but information on the line size is hard to find.This Tygon yellow line is 500% better than the green stuff. If you are on the fence over the price, this stuff the cats meow. You know it the moment you put it on. Its really nice, flexible and thick. My first connector I lubed it up a little to get it on the metal nipple, however it turns out the line is so good that I didn't need to do that on the rest of them. I attached the fuel line and used 6-8mm fuel line clamps. This line fits snugly, but I would not recommend using it without the clamps since it seems more flexible. I also added an inline fuel filter and was easily able to cut the line to size with a utility knife. I would avoid wire cutters as it probably won't cut as nice.Thats it:3/16 ID Tygon Fuel LIne (only need a few feet max)6-8mm Fuel Line Clamps3/16" OD Inline Fuel Filter with Wire mesh. I did not try the 1/4" filters that are more common. No idea the line will fit that size nipple.

I only got 8 feet. I guess they stretch it to measure it. However it was adequate to complete my project.
