The temp range is pretty low...gets a bit warm under the tank sometimes.

Ed, the gravity fed bikes use 10 mm I.D. lines.

Well then, I stand corrected. Thanks!  I don't think I've ever been that deep in a GF FJ  :cray:

I think Mark also made a good point about the temp range being on the low side. I can just imagine getting your motor really hot, and that cooking the fuel line to the point of failure. Sounds like a bad combo. I agree with others, I'd keep searching or use one of the other recommendations

A couple of members have used this line. We ordered some and planned on using it on a bike here but it is too flimsy and kinks very easily. We ended up not using it as we did not want to risk having fueling problems.

Use this http://koolance.com/tubing-spring-wrap-steel-blue-for-od-10mm-3-8in to get around the problem. "Tubing outer spring to help avoid kinks in tight areas."

Has anyone found any good fuel line alternatives?
