Your cart is empty.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.

Replaced all the lines since they had begun to deteriorate and restrict gas flow. Runs great now

Old Tygon fuel line gets stiff and inflexible.This stuff is fairly flexible. That’s crucial.Using old and flexible Tygon inside a fuel tank can lead to fuel starvation (engine stop) if the “clunk” weight on the end of the fuel intake tube is stiff and hardened with age, as it can become impossible for the engine to consistently draw fuel if the fuel pick-up line’s “clunk” can’t chase the fuel around in a partially filled fuel tank.Everyone should know that the yellow plastic fuel line is supposed to be made of Tygon, and the MUCH more flexible colored lines (or clear lines) are for Methanol based “glow” fuels. Also, there are two diameters for fuel lines, with 1/8 inch inside diameter being typical for a 50 cc gasoline engine. Check your size requirement!

Needed this size to repair a string tirmmer. Fits nice and tight through the fuel tank holes and tight on the carburetor fittings. Should be the type that does not decay in the fuel.

Used this to replace both fuel tank and oil tank feed lines on 40 year old Suzuki FA50 Moped. Then from fuel selector to carburetor and also the vacuum line. Enables “seeing” that gas and oil are getting where they should. Fit snuggly over outlet and inlet nipples. I used spring clamps for added security over the hose/nipple fitting, but you could get away with not using them as fits were tight.
