I recently bought some of the Clear Yellow Tygon Fuel Line 1/4" ID X 3/8" OD.
But it is leaking at the first inlet of the petcock...
It is SUPER easy to pull off and the fuel clamps do nothing to hold it on let alone hold all the fuel in.
Should I have went with the 3/16 ID tube?
What do you guys use?
Thanks!

Crap... I just spent $20 on that stuff.... urgh...
Oh well... going to get the 3/16 ID then. May use the 1/4 ID as spares for vac lines I guess.
Thanks for the input!!

Got the new Tygon fuel line yesterday with the 3/16 ID - tried it on a spare petcock and man is it a tight fit.... almost like I don't need clamps...

Found out the issue was in part (or in whole) due to a faulty petcock! The petcock was not sealed properly and was leaking everywhere... It was definitely not manufactured correctly because I was able to twist the inlet where the vacuum line connects... so returning it back to Amazon...
