I picked up some fuel hose from an auto parts store the other day. It is too big to do what I need does anyone know of a good quality fuel hose?

Plain single walled 1/4 fuel hose. The double walled auto stuff is to thick and flakes off on the inside too over time. Lawn and garden stuff works fine.Nathan

I have been running Briggs and Stratton fuel line on my bike for a couple years. No issues yet.Life is what happens while your planning everything else!

Replaced the 30yr.old OEM fuel lines with the OEM fuel line from the dealer. Got enough to cris-cross lines with filters and that extra length un-criss-crossed makes it nice using the tank flipped backwards in seat position for fuel when syncing carbs, figure should last another thirty yrs?.......A Standard sure keeps things simple......including front brake pad replacement.......81H Venturer1100 "The Bentley" (on steroids) 97 Yamaha YZ250(age reducer) 92 Honda ST1100 "Twisty"(touring rocket) Age is relative to the number of seconds counted 'airing' out an 85ft. table-top.Comment

at the auto parts store, they had a little lawn and garden engine area
in that area they had 1/4 inch clear fuel line
i was gonna pick it up, but wasnt sure if it would melt or something
but it seems that some of you guys are using lawn and garden style fuel lines so i think im gonna go for it
i dont trust the automotive line im using now
its to thick and a pain in the ass to move it around1980 XS1100SG - almost doneComment
