Best type of fuel line

[Stump Shot]

This stuff is worth my money and while not perfect at least has a standard expectation of use.

I quit using the AM lines on the left, failure was anywhere from a day to a month. But failure was consistent enough to change my ways and get the real thing on the right.

These old style 268 lines from HL Supply have been holding up good as of late. Earlier versions, not so much.
Oregon and Raisman make good ones too.
There is no OEM option available other than a grommet and a curly line. This does give one more place for a leak however.

Stihl is the same thing, just get the real thing and be done with it.

Yellow fuel line sucks. The husky 372 type black rubber rules.

Any experience with the Rotary (13369) version of this? Was the only stuff the local dealer had. Trying to figure out if I need to find an online source.

With old saws AM line is often the only option, so Tygon it is, doesn't last long though.

Used up some just before I bought the Echo and it was good.

Many thanks, I'll pick up a roll then and give it a go. I haven't had any issues with the Stens True Blue yet, but only been using it a few months, and it's a pain to work with.

I’ve had decent luck with some of this Chinawan stuff...bought it off Amazon. Seemed to get pretty decent reviews and it’s held up well on a couple of weed-eaters and blowers. Figgered it was worth the $10 gamble...

I guess because I don't use pump gas I have different results than others w/ Tygon.
I use it exclusively for both fuel and oil.
Some like Chevy others like Ford..

In my experience Tygon doesn't like any type of fuel. After the line comes into contact with fuel I'm lucky if it lasts six months.[emoji111]

Genuine Tygon has its number in the lines. Do you remember what the number is/was ?




This is the LP-1100

Nah, kids dirt bike

the best line is made by motion pro not cheap. i use briggs smaller line on atvs for years and never had a problem.

I've always hated on tygon because of past experiences with some, but thanks to this thread I realize the Oregon line I had bought was not true Tygon. It was some type of yellow vinyl junk!

I placed an order with US plastic to give the real deal Tygon a try.

I also bought Motion Pro and Stens True Blue to try as well. For now I'll be sticking to the trusty Stihl line for impulse lines.

Echo line works great for impulse. It stays supple for a long time and doesn’t harden/crack as fast as some do. There’s two different diameters I use.

I'm running 12 of those fuel lines about 2 year's on some no problems.

I have 100ft of it and have used 50ft good stuff.
