[Roadsters] Translucent fuel tubing

[sidney raper]

If you decide to go to the Hobby shop to get model airplane fuel line, be
aware that there are two versions.  The stuff made for model airplane fuel
(typically clear/white or bluish) is NOT compatible with gasoline.  The stuff
for gasoline (typically more clear or yellow) is NOT compatible with the model
airplane fuel (nitromethane).  I believe that the model stuff is silicone
tubing.  The brand I recall is Tygon.  You can get it at a hobby shop, but it
is typically MUCH cheaper at a small engine repair place (the lawn mower
repair shops for example).

The Tygon is great.  I found it years ago as a great substitute for the mucho
expensive line from the float bowl to the carb.  I never thought about
replacing the other lines with it, but that is a good idea!
