Wow, glad I didn't wind up with that, but don't ask how I know tygon tubing does don't last as a gas line. Crossover line crumbled and gas was all over the place, line was 2 years old. Frank

     The stuff designed/rated for automobile FI that's available at NAPA, Advance and others is worth paying the extra money for.  Don't ya just love ethanol?
