Nylon high pressure tube is fine, you can even make flared joints to AN
fittings if necessary. It's sold by compressed air specialists, also truck
maintenance people.

It's one of those things that are nice when you stop. Seriously though, the
buzz you get when your airplane flies for the first time is amazing. Makes
