Sometimes it feels the congo. I have problems finding basic things on the island and my friends in the keys have an even worse time. Auto zone and advance auto were the closest auto parts stores to me and neither had it. There is no tractor supply or lowes near me. There is a home depot but I'm just going to order online. Its easier to shop online than say " do you speak english " all the time and then them try to help me knowing they have no idea what I'm saying. It's really the only thing I can bitch about living here though.

Thanks. I always over think everything. I'm just concerned about this fuel line the guy sent me saying its for gasoline ( unblended ) since almost every gas station sells fuel with ethanol in it these days. I sent him a request for a refund. I weighed it and it will only cost me one stamp to send it back.

Thanks bashan I have about a zillion zip ties holding the line so its strategically placed to not kink and stay still (not pull on its connections) when I turn the manual fuel shut off switch through the hole in my trunk. So I've got the way it flows ( kink free) down pat. I warned the mechanic that he will prob laugh when he sees how many zip ties I have in there but he said, ya it looks nuts but makes perfect sense how and why you did it and it works. LOL

I got my friend who speaks spanish to call the two auto parts stores near me and they both said they don't have that size. I've used the transparent kind before but it felt too stiff and I had a hard time getting it over the barbs on my fuel filter and shut off switch and getting it to conform to it without gaps. I only want to go with the black rubbery stuff now.

I searched all over amazon, ebay, the vendor links at the top of the screen for 5/32" ID black fuel line and can't find any that say this. It really shouldn't be that hard to find.

Ya know, I bet these auto parts stores have it and the box in the back where they keep all the fuel lines are just showing a different measurement than the inside dimension . I think I'm going to go to the auto parts stores, bring a fuel filter and a piece of hose and say " necesito manguera de gas " I need gas hose. That way if it fits on the filter I know it will fit my needs.

Thanks. I think I'm going to try to get a refund on this fuel line and try again. The fuel lines on my scooter now didnt come with it. They are just ones I put in when I changed from petcock to a manual fuel shut off system. My mechanic noticed they were not pliable and he said they will prob spring a leak within the next 6 mo or so. He then showed me the difference between okay for fuel and not from the end of a hose. (I had another piece of it in my scooter parts box)

cool. I wish I could find an attachment that hooks a garden hose and air compressor together to make a power washer for my patio lol.

I ordered this little simple one - www.walmart.com/ip/Motor-Trend-Cpm-0610-110-Volt-AC-Home-Air-Compressor/23841746

I've decided to just get a home air compressor. I found one with great reviews for a decent price.
If I get stuck with this valve stem replacement at least I won't get stuck at the gas station trying to do it. The gas stations near me are shady so I'd rather do it at home anyway. Also still waiting for some scooter parts. I have so many scooter and bicycle parts on order lol

Thanks. From the ad it looked like I was just buying regular fuel line so I was caught off guard with what they sent

a crazy straw like this?


so you're thinking ground effects lighting under their car and spinner rims would be too much ?
and here I didnt even show you the dog stroller (I have an excuse my boy has arthritis) or wardrobe on hangers LOL.
