FUEL TUBING??

[abedooley]

Does anyone have any sources for tubing small enough for fuel lines etc.?? Or any tips on something that could work as tubing also??

Abe, I use nothing more than various size bead wire to represent fuel lines. The arts and crafts stores come to the rescue again 'cuz that's where you'll find it.

You can also check your Radio Shack (If they're still around) and look for a spool of tin plated wire too. You'll have to check the different sizes...............look for something that'll be in scale for what you're building.

Also the insulation of small diameter wire can be used to represent the rubber hoses in some cars.

Here's a couple pics of fuel line detail..................

Hope this helps!

And if you're looking to replicate clear fuel lines, try monofilament fishing line.

i use silver craft wire.

I was wondering because I wanna do a rat next and I want to run clear fuel lines and I thought about the monofilament, but I thought maybe there would be different sources as well.. Thanks guys.

Bill, that 12 cylinder is absolutely GORGEOUS!!!! I've also looked at your Daytona for a combined time of about 2 or 3 hours. Cant keep my eyes off of it!!!!

I use fishing line also, if you get some RIT dye, like red.. you can make clear red fuel lines like most hot rods ran in the 60's.
