Nice video. I use to be a tygon fan till i found a a few lines had hardened quickley. Went back to using oem stuff. When I stopped by @Spike60's shop last weekend. We actually talked about this issue.

Thanks for the part number. This time of year I service a lot of landscaping equipment for my brother in law and like to have bulk fuel line on hand. He has mainly stihl stuff like br600's, fs90/94/110/130 and hs45's.

I actually just bought 10 of the husqvarna pig tails the other day as I was servicing the chainsaws at my regular job. They are pricey for what it is.

 

[Mattyo]

I've bought from @Spike60 a lot and will continue to do so when I need oem stuff.

It's the rare fellow that knows his job like he does. ..so he gets my business. But the husky line not being available in bulk is nuts. 1$ per inch is insane for rubber hose. ....especially when still has something that fits for 1$ per line.

Some time ago I bought a short dab of the R3 for an 034. Since then I get 2ft at a time from my favorite Stihl dealer. Use it in everything. Last being a 335xpt oil line.

I'd like a twenty foot spool or coil of it.

 

[Chainsaw Jim]

How well does it flex to let the filter travel when on its side? Usually a line like that will pin the filter up against one side or the other.

Echo line FTW

Echo line FTW

Used that fuel line many times.

 

[ny15]

I just bought 20' of the Echo line off of Amazon.

 

[Cut4fun]

Got 2 boxes of 26' each last time of my 2 most common used sizes. Been using echo line for awhile now.

 

[Mattyo]

The echo line is very supple. But it's a hair big od. I dunno. ...I'll run the stihl stuff for a while and see.

 

[sunfish]

I like the oem pig tail line, but then I never need much line.

 

[Jughead]

been using stihl lone for a few years now.great stuff.

 

[jake wells]

i rarely change lines at all so i buy oem.
must be because i use ethanol free gas.

 

[Mattyo]

I use e free too. But when I'm working on a saw. ..I can just swap the fuel line now and not worry about cost

 

[dustinwilt68]

I get them for 6.00 a line, I will still be using the oem, I just dnt like using anything that wasnt made for it. $5.00 more isn't going to break me. To me when I purchase a used saw it speaks to the quality of the saw and builder if they didnt cheap out on a fuel line, the small details matter to me.jmo
