Fuel line brands

Redneck, What's the story on the gooey stuff coming out of that line, stretching down to the filter? Tygon being dissolved by fuel??? Or what.......?? Pardon me if I missed the explanation...

God bless,
Mike

Not gooey. That is the inner lining part like shown in the first pic shown coming out. But that one was collapsed inside and letting fines get by.

Which allows this. Carb from that saw.

see this , this is not counterfeit hose. it is the real thing ! <repeat 3 time to learn it.
china sells tons of counterfeit hose. ( i can post 1000s of links in china doing that now)

the hose bought by say 2 feet, is not possible to prove it is real LP1100 EPA certified hose. china sells the fake hose.

the hose material is a trade secret and works so good the EPA mandates it. tested fully to be good. NO BULL !

so stop buying fake hose.

off fleabay, or ScamAZoned. stop it.

we can not see the LP1100 marks on the hose so is childs play to fake it, and they do ,endlessly in most sites selling this hose.

Tygon LP1100 is a low permeation EPA and CARB certified fuel line[4] also used in small engines.

the wiki nails this. if you read it

Bunch of us tested the newer epa tygon lines and other lines close to 8-10 years ago and did a thread on them with results. http://chainsawrepair.createaforum.com/ported-saws/fuel-lines-tygon-etc/

OEM tygon 1100 is crap line that fails. It is the one that comes apart inside. Couldnt pay me to install it in customers saws or my own. It's junk.
Failed in a saw that wasnt even used much in 2 years.

Tygon 1200 OEM is to hard to work with IMHO. Installed it in some stuff many years ago.

Yellow line is 1100

Grey 1200

Blue stens

If I was going to install oem tygon line it would be the old 4040. But why would you for same cost of the echo line. Unless you are running that .80x.140 small stuff. Echo dont have that.
I started drilling the tanks or grommets to move up to the 3x5 echo myself. Just did a husky blower and 2 saws that way.

I have used Oregon branded tygon type fuel lines a few times and never had an issue.
Redmax uses tygon on alot of their trimmers and blowers and I have never had a line fail. My current Husky/Redmax BP blower is probably nearing 15 years old a d has been run alot. The BP blower it replaced was also a Redmax andran about this length of time, but with even more hours.
I should also add I never run ethanol fuel.
And to be clear I am not saying Tygon is the best, only that I have never had issues with it.

Oregon OEM line was fine. Pic below. As seen in some 10 year old I installed in dads back in 2004 to 2014. Only reason pulled it out was broken av and torn boot.

Had got alittle stiff and hardened though. Oregon used black lettering.

Tygon 4040 OEM can last pretty long time if you can put up with hardening and possible shirking around holes to cause leak. But not as long as the Oregon one it seemed.

But that EPA Tygon 1100 is trash shown in my pics above post.

You just cant use the generic wording tygon to describe line from them. You have to know the model number of which one. Not all of them ok.

IMO only the older Tygon 4040 decent, not that epa 1100 crap.

Citing Wikipedia as proof is like……yeah…..no.

Simmer down Francis, Tygon is junk. Use Echo, Stihl, or Husky

I love this site. Only here can we get bent out of shape about fuel line!

I had a problem with it the first time I used it and never used it again.

Duh. That’s because you used the cheap China shít and not the reeeeeaaaaaalllll tygon. Obviously. Wikipedia even says so

 

[huskihl]

+EPA mandates^

 

[RedneckChainsawRepair]

Guess what is in dads old 54cc now. Not oem tygon , not oregon either.

OEM 3x5 for fuel and tank vent and 3x6 impulse. Echo echo echo

Yes it is hard to find the genuine product. How can you definitely buy genuine Tygon products? Are you sure the USPlastic link is actually real Tygon. I have used fake (probably) Tygon and it was junk. It tuned cloudy, opaque, hardened and leaked.

An example of the issue: I was looking at buying some bearings and called Timken Inc. Their response was that absolutely nothing you buy on the internet is genuine. Unless you buy it directly from them or a factory authorized dealer assume it is a knockoff. You can buy Timken bearings on Alibaba what have "Made in USA" embossed on the outer race for a fraction of the cost of the genuine article. Moral to the story, you don't know who all the factory authorized dealers are. Buying locally from a Timken Authorized Dealer is stupidly expensive.

Back to the subject of fuel lines. Does anyone know of a reliable supplier? I have a lot of two strokes (saws, blowers, brush saws, snowmobiles, etc) and I would like to have the genuine article available. It is expensive and time consuming to order yamaha, stihl, husky lines. I need to have the material on hand. Lately I have been using automotive hose where it fits.

Yes we know tygon is a name brand, the stuff does not last and causes a slew of running issues once aged and exposed to fuel causing hardening, cracking and inflexibility. Every single piece of equipment with tygon hoses leak fuel at the carb fuel barbs, the stuff is junk.

Hmm okay, in a few years I’ll know, I’m changing most my lines to tygon fuel line so time will tell.

Best of luck lol.
These guys don’t make this stuff up without good reason and are plenty quick to recommend good stuff when it works
