    Best tubing for bleed lines/small fuel lines 2.4 MERC

    What is the best tubing to use for the small fuel lines on a 2.4l MERC. I see many of the aftermarket builders using blue or yellow clear tubing. Is this just small engine fuel line? Thanks for the advice.

    I am pretty sure Tygon is exactly what I am thinking of. Are there any others out there?

    I did some additional research and Tygothane tubing is another good one.

    Any urethane fuel rated tubing will do.I use a lot of the blue stuff and have used it on bleed lines as well as fuel lines.

    Here's where i get mine. The price is right. There is a 10' Minimun. As mentioned McMaster-Carr sells it also but the shipping cost kill you with them on small orders.

    Went with the yellow tygon from Ace. Install was great as they are very flexible. Looks good too. Thanks again for the tips.
