What do you guys use for bowl vent lines? CB500
« on: October 25, 2011, 08:58:55 AM »
Does it have to be fuel resistant or can I use 1/8" vacuum line?

I use the vacuum line.  They should never need to carry fuel, right?  :) red or yellow tygon looks good on customs.

3.5mm hose from Honda.

Fuel vapors will also eat hose not rated for fuel contact.  It will just take longer for them to break up.
