i purchased a used clarke 4 gallon tank and, of course it had no petcock, but i had the petcock from my old tank, the only problem is, it had no fuel line. i built my R from ground up, but i'm missing a fuel line, b/c the first tank had no fuel line(the one that goes from valve to carb). the problem is, they have discontinued this item, and i NEED one. my question is, where can i find a substitute, or will a line from another quad work? if so, which quad?
thanks,
-Ryan

any piece of 1/4" id rubber or vinyl about 6 inches long will work

Just make sure to use a fuel line and not just any 1/4" line because the fuel hardens normal lines and could cause it to split.

I know home depot and lowes carry a good selection of different size hoses. Their in the plumbing section. You get about 8' for 1.20.

right on. make sure it is fuel line, not regular 1/4in hose...gas will dry rot the rubber vause it to get very hard, and it will crack
