Not sure but I will try this today...
Since the present gas fuel line we use is only yellow or blue, I have been told that the IV tubes will hold gas in them without melting. I will get some IV tubes and put them in gas for testing. The IV tubes are clear and more flexible that present fuel lines.

Maybe you use Tygon, but Hayes Products molded neoprene is the best...Send me a PM if you want to try some...
IV tubing is no better than Tygon......

Figured with your wife being a nurse you would have tried IV tubing
I guess I can cross that one off my list of things to try and great discoveries to be made.

K&S sells a fuel line (Stay-Flex?) that is flexible and clear and it is rated for BOTH gas and glow. I got a spool of it to try and so far it seems to be working just fine with my gas engines.

Why is it so many people have an issue with Tygon? Or even neoprene. One of the great things about Tygon is that it forces you to inspect your fuel system once in a great while. You should replace the neoprene periodically as well. Or is it because you can't color coordinate it with anything else? Goodness, I just don't know what to wear[sm=bananahead.gif]
