Tygon fuel lines
Look for a Canadian auto supply shop that sells either black or clear 5/16's tygon fuel line by the linear foot to combat the ethanol issue.
Re: Tygon fuel lines
I don't know if it's Tygon, but I have been using the pink tinted fuel line found on snowmobiles for years.
Stays flexible, and hasn't reacted to any of the weird and wonderful fuels I have put thru them.
Cheap and easy to get.
I think you can get Tygon at Performance Improvements in Canada.
... and I always use clear. Makes fuel delivery problems easier to diagnose.

Re: Tygon fuel lines
I'd love to find some quality fuel line. Everything I use, the clear plastic stuff and the black stuff all go rock hard after a season. Fricken ethanol in the fuel. :(

Re: Tygon fuel lines
Went to the Performance Improvements website and note that most of the stores are in Ontario - not an issue. Checked their website, under fuel lines, and could not find any tygon tubing per sa. I'll give 'em a phone call.
Re: Tygon fuel lines
Let us know, I'm in need of 50' of tygon at the moment.
Re: Tygon fuel lines
I've bought Tygon for oil lines at a hobby store that specializes in RC cars, apparently it's the best thing for nitromethane. They probably won't have any large enough for bike fuel line but could probably order some. I have been using fuel line from Royal Distributing lately and it lasts and stays flexible, not sure the material but it is translucent like Tygon, maybe urethane.
Re: Tygon fuel lines
Call the Performance place (Toronto store) and they did not have a clue what I was talking about. Went to an RC place - had it - but only in 1/16 dia id. Auckland/Granger website has tygon tubing for gas monitors and they will get back to me. Found this site also:

Re: Tygon fuel lines
though its not in Canada, I did get some clear Helix brand fuel hoses from Economy Cycle. Also Motion Pro makes Tygon which you can get from any dealer using parts unlimited Canada.

Re: Tygon fuel lines
I have purchased gobs of the yellow gasoline okay Tygon from McMaster Carr in various sizes.
But I think you guys have a problem with import taxes or some such thing up there that makes it very expensive.

Re: Tygon fuel lines
Couple of things to consider;
Clear Home depot /Rona plastic tubing.. Works 'Fine' for ~a year or so.
Then splurge the 2 $ for a replacement length.
Chevron Canada's 94 Octane Gasoline has Zero methanol.
My 2 stroke Shindaiwas will run useably Only on it. Your Yama is less picky? Likely not
Again: splurge.
