gray tygon fuel lines

[oldnortonrider]

(?) Anybody know where to get "gray tygon fuel lines? I used to
get them from DennisKirk. They don't got 'em no more; can't imagine why they quit handling these lines. They worked far best for me. I used every kind over the years. Expensive, but far superior with heat and fuel exposure.

I got some from a local bike shop (cycleSalvage)
4 bucks a foot
Still sitting on my parts shelf, larger OD than the stuff I've been using but seems more flexable.

Srayla; thanks for the Google link > that was to be my next step. Plenty of links that have it; even available in "clear" and "black", now, from one source. One of the link/source/s said the "gray" does work better. I can believe it; original. Probably something in the "gray" that "makes it work different. Age doesn't bother this stuff.

mro; thanks,.........yeah, I noticed it is higher ($), now. Can't remember for sure, it's been 3-5 years since I last got mine. I got 10 or 15 feet at that time. One of Strayla's google links has it for $3.00 for the gray; $3.55 for the clear or black. Yeah, "OD" is a little "fatter" on this stuff; I don't care what the OD is, as long as the ID is proper.

Those other stinkin' line ingredients, in ALL the other type lines,
cause them to harden up enough, to make it a real wrastllin' match to get them off the petcock nipples or fuel t's or whatever else you gotta get them off of, after being on just about any amount of time. I often use "Stabil", one of the reasons: I switch tanks sometimes during the year, depending on what kind of work I'm doing on the XS. The smaller 3.9 gallon teardrop tank allows me quicker removal, and to be able to get it back on to test something. Also
much more room to be able to get at stuff, with it still on the machine. "The Stabil" is "harder(?)" on those other line materials, I'm suspecting. Even without using any additive or stabilizer, plain gas "stiffens" those other line materials up enough, anyhow. Add "UV rot", too.
