I try to keep small fuel line on hand for various things. I was
getting low while I was at Napa so I bought some new. 3/8 or
something close to it.
I needed to replace the line on my chore pickup. That Napa
line is the cheapest junk I have ever seen. It is so flimsy that it
will actually collapse on itself if you try to bend it into a gradual
arc - like a 180 within 18 inches. We are talking between the
pump and the carburetor where where is pressure (it isn't more
than about five psi at any given time). I was having trouble with
it starving last night so I pulled the line off the carb, turned on
the key, and fiddled just a little bit. The line has only been on
about three weeks. I got some unused out and it felt just the
same (I thought it felt flimsy when I bought it). Does anyone
make decent line? Don't say USA made - this is!
