Replacement fuel lines, clear plastic?

[CHIEFSONN]

Why does none of the sites that sell MV parts sell replacement fuel line, clear plastic,

Not a great thread title. Makes searching for answers hard to do!

Because most guys just use DOT rated air hose. Be sure to get the ferrules that go inside the plastic for the nuts to cinch down on.

He asked about fuel line in the OP, not air. Most guys go to commercial hose companies for fuel, air and hydraulic hoses, fittings, and parts. I have a company near me called EVCO House of Hose and have been there may times for my air/fuel/hydraulic needs and the prices have been very reasonable.

Yes, I know, and I answered his question. Sure you can go to a supply house, but I've got no reason for clearish fuel return lines.

There is also the sticky:

But he asked why dealers don't stock clear return lines. Probably cause its not a BIG seller.

If the OP's question was only about return fuel lines I would prob. merge this thread with the sticky one.

There was a mention of getting fuel /air line at NAPA (synflex) and i was told they didn't have it, on there site I checked and they don't sell it, I did get the ferrels brake away- nut and I also have the insert from supply house on line.the fittings# c74-158lf. I am limited on truck shops in my area. but that wont last to much longer as i will be leaving and heading south Thanks for your replays. Gunzy I could use the company you deal with.

DOT air line is also used as diesel and gasoline fuel lines. Has for decades now. The clear fuel line will not last more then a few years (even the "Tygon" stuff) while the "Nylon" DOT line will last your and your grandsons life times. I've used lines that go back to the 1970's and you cannot tell the difference between it and the modern stuff.
