(quoted from post at 22:17:26 04/07/18) I looked through several chemical resistance charts, all agree that they can't agree! LOL
Some say excellent, some say fair, some say poor, some just skip the test.
There was some discrepancy on "aromatic gas" and "non aromatic gas". I suspect all pump gas is aromatic, which had more "fair" to "no" ratings than non aromatic.
If I were to use vinyl tubing for gas, it would depend on the application. If it were for transferring, something I could see, not near any heat or ignition sources, not left with gravity or siphoning flow possible, then yes, it would probably be OK.
But I would hesitate to use it for a permanent installation on a piece of equipment. Especially if it were near the engine or heat source, or clamped to a fitting that could transfer engine heat, or leakage could go undetected.
(quoted from post at 02:22:13 04/08/18) Thanks for answers. Maybe I should tell application. I have an old visible (gravity flow)gas pump. The fittings that come out of the tank and connect to underground tank have a about 8" that have to use a flexible connection because when put together they don't line up good. I therefore can't hard pipe all the way. I have been using rubber hose but every 2 or 3 years it deteriorates. Just wondering about this clear vinyl tubing being better.

My problem is the pipe I need to put the hose on is 1 5/8" and I can't find anything except rubber in 1 5/8" ID. The vinyl I find is 1/4" ID and I think I might be able to get it on by heating it in hot water. Anyone's thought?

No way on earth you going to get 1/4"I.D. anything onto 1-5/8"O.D.
might want to visit McMaster-carr and look up fuel hose.
