I've had no luck with any of the flexible plastic tubing.
As far as possible, I have replaced it with auto fuel injector hose.
Aircraft Spruce list clear PVC pipe, used in Quickie as fuel level
gauge, p/n 03-54100,
however the diameter is larger, and I could not see an easy way of
plumbing it in
without risking a further source of fuel leakage.
