Hayes Tank Fuel Tubing

Post by mlapacz »

I'm replacing the fuel tubing inside some of my 4 oz. tanks and find that the regular blue tubing is too stiff and won't allow the clunk to flex enough to stay in the fuel as it's used up.
The local Hobbytown didn't have any other tubing that was as flexible as the black tubing that comes in the original package.
Does anyone have a source for replacement tubing?

Mike,
This is what you're looking for made by Sullivan if they still make it. See ya in Green Bay!

I got Hayes tubing last year from Tower but had to search for it, I selected Hayes for the product type and looked through the listings. Hayes tanks aren't available any more but maybe they still have some tubing,
