Are you guys talking about redoing the burp lines by any chance? I need to redo mine. Was thinking half inch tubing would work well...

What about pex or nylon tubing? I know the latter is not effected by fuel. Just need something to get fuel up to the filler neck... Was thinking a coil of copper tubing would work too, but that aint cheap...

Yep. Finding 1/2" hose for the burp line may not be easy.
Stick and I have been trying to find 1/2" 30R7 or 30R9 for a few days
now. Finally found two sources:
1. Summit has a SS braid covered 1/2" hose advertised as good for
gasoline -- but never mentioning 30Rx.
http://www.summitracing.com/parts/SUM-230803/
2. O'Riley's web site has 1/2" 30R7 x 25' listed at $1.69 per foot.
It's listed as not sold on line but IS sold in stores. Stick called
and the local store should have it tomorrow. We don't know whether
they're getting a 25' roll to fill his 3' order. We had to provide
the P/N for them to have any idea what we were talking about.

Here's an update. Not knowing when or if I could get either, I bought both!
Summit SS braid hose arrived yesterday along with O'Reilly's 30R7. I picked up 3 feet at the local store (they ordered it, but said it is a regular stock item) for $1.69/foot. Summit was somewhat more expensive. I went ahead and put O'Reilly's on my coach for a short trip tomorrow.
We'll play with the SS from Summit when I get back and when Ken's creaky old back feels a bit better. The Summit hose will probably wind up on his coach.

I went to the shop that build hydraulic line and AC lines. He carries 1/2 high pressure Gates lines for diesels which is also gas line 30r7 and good gas. Price may have been high 10 bucks for 3 feet. I would expect most similar shop also carry such gas lines. I used them to rebuild my AC and oil lines when I need them. Generally the fab lines are less than new ones for the RV.
