Cross fuel lines

[Stevetheboatguy]

So I threw these on a order a while back. Realized that they would be a gamble but figured they were worth a shot just because.

I'm not going to bash/flame them didn't have high hopes but I have to ask. Has anyone used them with success? Long term 2+ years in service? I have one out of six that is still holding fine. It's in my wifes 170/180 and it's only ever had true fuel in it. The others have all needed replaced around 18mo.

(Mix of saws 170's-250's and 029's)

I think these were the ones that @Stump Shot was telling me about, that the good ones say made in Brazil iirc.

Been installing them on my own saws. The stuff from three years ago was crap, everywhere. These new ones seem better. They don't seem to melt with 10%E. Long term....who knows. The factory line from about 96' forward on the Stihls is still going strong here. Nothing gets stored without E free fuel, synthetic oil and Staybill added. 100ll is in my storage fuel now.

I still don't like a lot of the impulse lines out there. They seem weak and soft. Echo bulk line fills the void.

I still don't like them on a 290/029 Stihl. Where they make the bend before the carb inlet usually gets kinked..
