Tom, Is that the 1/8" wall thickness ? Doesn't look as bulky as mine.
the original stuff gets pliable if you heat it... (and it's the right color + patina)

Rehashing this old conversation, the above SKUs have a disclaimed not to use with ethanol based fuels.

PVC Tubing for Fuels and Lubricants
Very Flexible
Compatible Tube Fittings: Barbed
Soft (Durometer 65A)
Temperature Range: -10° to 120° F
This economical tubing can be used intermittently with petroleum-based products without becoming hard or brittle. It is not for use with ethanol-based gasoline. Tubing is clear, so you can easily monitor flow.
Should we getting the Tygon tubing that doesn't have an ethanol disclaimer?
Formulation: F-4040-A
Very Flexible
Compatible Tube Fittings: Barbed
Soft (Durometer 55A)
Temperature Range: -30° to 160° F
Not only will this tubing stay flexible when used with gasoline and other petroleum-based products, it also withstands lower temperatures than other fuel and lubricant tubing. Tubing is semi-clear, so it gives you a limited view of what’s flowing through your line.

Was the Tygon also at MC ?
I can buy non-ethanol at about a half dozen places around the county. Since I drive my cars so much this hasn't been a problem.
I store them with Sunoco Optima or 260GT.

The original stuff was generic metric clear polyethylene tubing...which is why over 10,20, 30 years it discolored and turned to stone!
I had a friend in the Netherlands go into a local hardware store there and purchase 4-5 meters of each size ( other places in the cars like windshield washer ) they sold and ship it to me. Even though it does not have a politically correct "vapor rating" it is as original and will probably last at least 4 or 5 years before needing replacement. Any hardware store in Europe sells all the needed sizes...make a new friend over there!

I used Mc Master Carr on my 912 fuel venting
I stock the original stuff Mark mentioned. It is German and made by Cohline. Different sizes I have on hand are ID 6mm 7mm 9mm 12mm 14mm. For the SWB tank vent I use the 7mm. Let me know if I can help you with any of these sizes?
Thanks,
Brad
