Hey,

Does anyone know a good source to get translucent blue 1/2" id colored tubing? Ideally i would like the color to match that of the stuff Fast Fuel Line and Blowsion sell.

Thanks.

That tubing has the same issue as another I found. The wall thickness is 1/16. Even the smaller 3/8 cooling line we use has 1/8 wall. Not sure I'd trust it.

You can browse this site and see if they have what you like. I use it and it's pretty good.

I can confirm using the 1/16” wall is indeed a bad idea. I tried it and 5 min after leaving the dock I was limping it back with more than one line melted off

I ended up going with the HPS through Amazon as it was slightly cheaper for 10' sections.

HPS makes nice hose, I also use Venair. Make sure you use smooth clamps though, if you use the open style worm clamps it will chew up the ends when you tighten it.

Yea I stick to Oetiker clamps wherever possible, so much cleaner, or the smooth worm clamps. I will say that when you are going this small with the smooth worm clamps I feel like they can be a bit bulky.

On stuff that is easy to service or intended to be "permanent" I typically go with the pinch/oetikers as well. If it needs to come off and is a pain in the ass to get to it gets a worm.
