It seems that nowadays that plain ol' gas line just doesn't cut it
anymore. And there is something called 'multi purpose' fuel line that
is supposed to be better than plain ol' gas line. The new formulations
of gas just eat up the old fashioned stuff.
I put plain ol' gas line (standard size) on my Eldo and found them to
cracking after just a year or two. Went and bought some German
cloth-covered metric line at a local import parts place (7 mm, I think).
About $2.50/ft but it fit so much better than the standard stuff and is
more pliable. Why doesn't any American manufacturer make metric fuel line??

Just thought I'd throw that out there, I saw both this AM and thought I might try my hand at match making.

Does anybody know of a source for replacement lines. I rather not use plane ol gas line since the OEM lines have such nice bends in them keep them compact. mike denver,co |
