Tygon
Ok, what is the part number for the good, Jay Smith endorsed, Tygon tubing. I see so many part numbers, then Jay put a part number up then a few posts later said it was the wrong one but it will work?
Please tell me the McMaster part number for yellow Tygon that will resist fuel.

Jay Smith:
I’ve used tygon tubing ( fuel and lubricant grade ) I buy from McMaster Carr for 25 years never had any issues with any instillation anywhere on any Mercury V-6 , maybe the product your using has to thin a wall thickness OR it’s not rated for fuel lubrication application ?? I also secure it to every barb with ty straps ...I use at least 1 50’ spool a month
Part # 5552k23 from McMaster - Carr ......404 346 7000 Atlanta , Ga.
BTW Every 2.5 V-6 High Performance Motor ever made that came from racing division came stock with the same yellow tygon I use daily ??
MY BAD I put wrong McMaster part number up the number listed is correct !!!That former number was the bigger tygon I use for water line from poppet to top of block , steel sleeved motors!!!

It all gets hard after a while, no matter what you use. The black fiber reinforced stuff used on factory carb motors lasts longer but its not as pretty...
I choose pretty/service regularly rather than ugly/lasts forever

So even when he says, "my bad I put the wrong Mcmaster up" was he speaking of the phone number?
So, 5552k23 is correct? ok

Yeah what you see there is correct. The number he posted before he edited it was the 1/4 or 3/8 line used for water I think.

What about TY wraps made for fuel line or tubing? The specialized one that have the rounded head that seal better?
Anybody have a line on them?

None of them look adequate for 1/4" o.d. lines. I typically use regular mini zip ties; they work if they are not too tight.
