Posted June 17, 201410 yr ive got a carb Vacuum Gauge Balancer 4 Cylinder Set Guage .i need to replace the tubing on them ive looked about.whats a good place to get it.
June 17, 201410 yr Hi to find out the best possible material choices for the tubing, do a google search for 'coleparmer chemical compatibility database' it is a data base that lists amongst other things elastomer materials and their resistance to chemical attack from various chemicals. Buna Nitrile is a good choice as are Fluorocarbon elastomer's aka 'Viton' hopefully this may make it possible to to have a broader choice of tubing suppliers
June 17, 201410 yr I just used a load of windscreen washer hosse that i had laying around from my scrapped cars, works pretty good although i havent used the vac gauge for years.

June 17, 201410 yr I've just replaced mine with wiper hose too, works well. It only sees a vacuum, so as long as you don't douse it in petrol it'll be fine. All motor factors stock it too. Incidently the hose they supply in those kit is attacked by air! or so it seems; it is utter junk
