Check Lowes or Home Depot for vinyl tubing - they have all sizes.

Speaking of fuel tubing., I use it to insulate my 6mm bullett connectors on
my batteries. BUT I need a larger ID than I've ever seen available. I
acquired some from a cancdian flyer I purchased my 1st used lipos from but
he didn;t remember where he got it. The largest I've been able to locate is
too small. Any ideas.
I've been using silicone mediacl tubing but is so soft I'm concerned with an
accident where the bullett gets masdhed between two objects and preses thru
the tubing and makes contact.
I can measure wehatI have if it would help
thanks in advancce for any help.

Chances are very good that, with only a handful of raw material suppliers in
Industry, the raw rubber stock came from Dow or GE. The color means nothing
and the formulation is most likely general purpose which means it has a
fairly high durometer (hardness) of around 50 units. GP silicone is
resistant to many things we use in the hobby, including Jason's 30% fuel.
Ingeneral, 50-60 duro is fairly highly cross linked which makes the stock
firmer and stiffer, more chemically resistant.
There are many specialty applications/formulations but I seriously doubt we
need any of that for our application except as pipe, header couplers.
I've had access to lower durometer thinner walled stock for a medical
application I use here at work. Have used a piece of that in the tank of the
Oxalis 50 as a pick up tube. Works super since it's extremely flexible. And
BTW, you can get various silicone rubber stock, in stock colors of clear,
red, black, yellow, blue and green from distribution such as Mcmaster Carr
or Small Parts.

I can't find Aerotrend anywhere so I bought 10 feet of Du-Bro from the LHS
to test it before buying a 50 foot roll. It works well on the 170DZ and has
a higher durometer than Aerotrend. So far I like it better than Aerotrend
and now that Prather is gone.....DB is about the only game in town.
