Default What are you using for a purge line?

What is everyone using to vent the purge out from under the hood? I have some fuel line right now hooked up but i know its cheesy. Is there a place to buy a hard line from? Thanks!

I was using black poly-vinyl. I'm now using Steel braid to the Purge block.

I went to my local auto parts store and got a install kit for a oil pressure guage that had some 1/8th inch copper line with it and a "T" fitting. I also painted it black.

I bought a fitting that had a compression fitting on one side and pipe threads on the other.

Sand the tubing with some 400 grit, so the paint has something to bite into, I used flat black Krylon.

I have this on the 04 bends awesome any way you want it to. Black vinyl on the 05 but I think I may switch to the brake line again.

You can also wrap the purge with black electrical tape.
Yep wish you would have thought of it!

What I used was off the purge solinoid I used pipe adapter to a #3 AN flare to 2' of braided #3 AN nitrous line to a #3 male AN union that I can cap off with a #3 AN cap if it rains. When I want to possibly use it I just unscrew the #3 AN cap . I think it looks good purging above my window /\(kinda like gollum's)/\ and the install looks good too . I'll post a pic in a couple of day's. BTW that's one of my favorite Black Sabbath albums gollum.
