I need some help locating a supplier for the flexible fuel tubing for my intank Walbro install. Car is a 2001 Fbody. Some places sell many lengths and APE only sells ~9in and longer lengths. I'm just looking for the correct length and a good cheap supplier.

Tried ordering from Racetronix and they want $14 shipping and a minimum of a $10 order.

Napa sells the SAE 30R10 submersible fuel hose but it's rubber. If you are talking about the stock style corrugated plastic tubing then I can't help ya.

racetonix is the only one who comes to mind, for what it's worth DO NOT USE RUBBER LINE INSIDE THE TANK.

Theres nothing wrong with rubber line in the tank. As long as it has the SAE 30R10 rating, it will be fine. Gates makes some very high quality submersible fuel hose that is heavy duty stuff. And I don't mean advance auto's "fuel injection" rubber hose.

just personal experience I guess, I had a walbro kit in one of my old cars, it had a submersible rubber line, well it didn't take long for the line to burst.

2X what TransW6Am said.
I don't care what a manufacture claims about their "submersible" fuel line, The GM type no-kink solvent resistant fuel tube is the only
one to use in a tank.
Racetronix had a listing at one time. I was just over there looking could not find it. Anyone have a link to that listing.

This is a link to another source. The price listed is $4 to $6 is a whole lot reasonable the some of the other prices I have seen.

Also running Gates submersible...even with E85 its been holding strong for several months now. I pulled the sending unit to inspect everything about a month ago and everything was perfectly fine.

I ran advanced auto fuel line inside my tank and when I removed it two years later to replace the fuel pump it looked absolutely perfect. It was used as a pickup tube with no pressure though. Not sure if that makes a difference.
