    I have been using tygon and have been less than impressed with it's performance. Seems to dry out and get brittle quicker than the OEM husky rubber line.

    Where can I buy the husky fuel line or another higher quality rubber fuel line by the foot?

    Thanks,
    Nathan

    I know northwood has some AM stuff. I have ordered from them before. I have not been impressed with the quality of the stuff from HL Supply. IT kinks and bends too easy so you can't stuff it through the husky gromets as easy as some thicker walled tube.

    what does northwood have?

    I hear people raving over that tygon stuff. This is that yellow rubber line right?

    Yea I was using it but I can't get my hands on the right size tygon around here. I just wanted to get a roll of echo or husky rubber line. I could go tygon again but it seems like the echo and husky fuel line lasts 5-8 years pretty consistently or longer. Need to get a roll and finally ready to break down and quick buying 3-4' pieces from Auto parts store.

    Yea I was reading through that thread...

    So 4040 is the standard tygon and true blue isn't the right size????

    Still looking though links but just looking for the standard rubber line for husky/dolmar/echo...

    Guess you missed the 1100 and 1200 the new stuff. All in that thread.

    I can lead you to the water, but cant force you to adsorb what is there already. ;)

    4040 is the origional yellow line
    1100LP is yellow but better ethanol resistance?
    1200LP is too stiff
    True Blue is not in 3/32-3/16 or 80/140 yet

    So back to the original question... Where do I get rubber echo line or some reasonable facsimile there of???

    The horse wandered around the watering hole decided it still likes the trough back in the barn...

    Again in same thread. Nate is a Echo dealer and can get you echo line as already posted. My work is done here IMO.

    I use 0000-930-2207 line from Sthil, 3m long.
    I've yet to have one come back for a new line since I started using this 7-8 yrs ago.

    Impulse line 0000 930 2804 is the absolute best I've found. Thicker than the above and no kinks at the bends.
