I've been blessed with buying yellow tygon from flea bay. Bought some 6-10ft pieces of different sizes about 4 years ago, stored inside a building in a zip loack bag and it's stores great, but I have went into small engines that had old faded yellow looking fuel lines that were hard as a rock, etc. The stuff I have remains flexible on chainsaws, etc.

I think maybe the China clone tygon might be the stuff that does not last as should. (and costs about same as the good stuff)

I priced some yellow tygon at a NAPA parts place and suspect it is good stuff but very expensive. I did not buy at NAPA because I already had this tygon.

I also have some small section of grey fuel lines for chainsaws and it seems to be as good or maybe better than the yellow tygon. What I like about the soft tygon yellow is I can splice different sections of different sizes if needed to get a gas tank seal etc.
 
so who sells the lowest good tygon and oem echo line? in like at least 25 foot rolls
 
how is the stens true blue says its 100 percent compatible with ethanol....and whats the echo line break down in terms of wich one would work on both echo and poulin diameter wise ? finally a link with the prices....thankyou

+1 echo bulk line for 7 year's plus no issue's.
3x6 mm 288 and 372s I've used it on a variety of saw's.
 
Why don't you guys just use viton tubing? It's not going to break the bank just buying a couple feet at like 12 bucks a foot. I get that it's not clear but it's not like you can see your fuel lines when it's assembled either.

Have you heard about this new machine that Wal-Mart has? It's cheaper than going to the Dr and you get's lot more info. Maybe too much info.;)

One day, in line at the cafeteria, Bob says to Stanley, “My elbow hurts like crazy. I guess I’d better see a doctor.”

“Listen, Bob, you don’t have to spend that kind of money,” Stan replies. “There’s a diagnostic computer down at Walmart. Just give it a urine sample and the computer will tell you what’s wrong and what to do about it. It takes ten seconds and costs ten dollars… a lot cheaper than a doctor.”

So, Bob fills a small jar with his urine and takes it to Walmart. He deposits ten dollars, and the computer lights up and asks for the urine sample. He pours the sample into the slot and waits. Ten seconds later, the computer ejects a printout: “You have tennis elbow. Soak your arm in warm water and avoid heavy activity. It will improve in two weeks. Here is a doctor’s certificate for your employer.”

That evening, while thinking how amazing this new technology was, Bob began wondering if the computer could be fooled. He mixed some tap water, a urine sample from his dog, urine samples from his wife and daughter, and some water out of his favorite fishing hole, just for good measure.

He then went back to Walmart, eager to test the computer. He deposits ten dollars, pours in his concoction, and waits.

In ten seconds the computer prints the following: “1. Your tap water is too hard. Get a water softener. 2. Your dog has ringworm. Bathe him with anti-fungal shampoo. 3. Your daughter has a cocaine habit. Get her into rehab. 4. Your wife is pregnant – twins. They aren’t yours. Get a lawyer. 5. If you don’t stop fishing, your elbow will never get better.

And, as always… Thank you for shopping at Walmart.”
 
and while you are on the subject of pain, especially low back pain, keep a heads up about this cure before you go to a surgeon type back specialist!!! At least try the Wal Mart machine listed above first and this recommendation below. Sometimes you think low back pain is caused from old age and operating a too heavy a chainsaw but might be a simple solution to how you are dressed. Read slowly all the way to the bottom paragraph.
OMG

Subject: Joe….Headaches and Low back pain!!!!!!!!


Joe was moderately successful in his career, but as he got older

He was increasingly hampered by incredible headaches. When his

Personal hygiene and love life started to suffer, he sought medical help. After being referred from one specialist to another, he finally came across a doctor who solved the problem. (The Dr. is ALSO a Community Care Dr for City of Tulsa, employee Group Plan and was trained in Afghanistan and Iran)




“The good news is I can cure your headaches………….The bad news is that

It will require castration. You have a very rare condition, which causes your testicles to press up against the base of your spine.

The pressure creates one hell of a headache. The only way to relieve the pressure is to remove the testicles.



Joe was shocked and depressed. He wondered if he has anything to live for.

He couldn’t concentrate long enough to answer, but decided he had no choice but to go under the knife.



When he left the hospital, his mind was clear, but he felt like he

was missing an important part of himself. As he walked down the

street, he realized that he felt like a different person. He could

make an new beginning and a new life.



He walked past a men clothing store and thought, “That’s what

I need: a new suit. “He entered the shop and told the salesman,

“I’d like a new suit.”



The salesman eyed him briefly and said, “lets see…..size 44 long.”

Joe laughed, “That’s right, how did you know?”



”It’s my job.”



Joe tried on the suit. It fit perfectly. As Joe admired himself

in the mirror, the salesman asked,

“How about a new shirt.”



Joe thought for a moment and said, “Sure.”

The salesman eyed Joe and said, “Lets see…34 sleeve and …

16 and a half neck.”



Joe was surprised, “That’s right, how did you know?”



“It’s my job.”







Joe tried on the shirt and it fit perfectly. As Joe adjusted the

Collar in the mirror, the salesman asked, “How about new shoes?”



Joe was on a roll and said, “Sure.”



The salesman looked and Joe’s feet and said, “Let’s see..9-1/2..E.”



Joe was astonished, “That’s right, how did you know?”



“It’s my job.”



Joe tried on the shoes and they fit perfectly> Joe walked comfortably

Around the shop and the salesman asked, “How about a new hat?”



Without hesitating, Joe said, “Sure…”



The salesman eyed Joes head and said, Let’s see 7 5/8.”



Joe was incredulous, “That’s right, how did you know?”



“It’s my job.”



The hat fit perfectly. Joe was feeling great, when the salesman

asked, “How about some new underwear?”



Joe thought for a second and said, “Sure.”…



The salesman stepped back, eyed Joe’s waist and said, Let’s

see…size 38, boxer type.”



Joe laughed, “No, I’ve worn size 34 briefs since I was 18 years old.”



The salesman shook his head; “You can’t wear a size 34 in any kind of

underwear. It would press your testicles up against the base of your spine and give you one hell of a headache and plus low back pain.”
