anyone know of anyplace to get similar silicone tubing that lucky supply sells to replace the nipples on machines, i ordered some off ebay it was a bit too tight its tough to find the exact size, it needs a inside diameter of 2.5mm and an outer diameter of a little less then 5mm, 5mm stuff works but is super tight, i was just going to order thru luckys but it looks like they want to charge me 43 dollars shipping by fedex on a 10 dollar order....

I think it's a "medium" RC fuel line. Have you tied a hobby shop near you?

Definitely try your hobby shop or where they sell gas remote cars...it's silicone fuel line....I buy it at my local hobby shop for a buck a foot, it's light blue and super awesome...

Try looking under angling and fishing. Some Carp rigs need silicone tubing and it is readily available here in the UK.

Try other suppliers in other countries.. Only in Sweden I found a lot.. Do a googletranslate on "silicone tube" and search what comes up.
But then you have the shipping and customs.. but for a little silicone tube, that cant be much.
Happy hunting.
Im gonna see if I can find some.. and if I happen to get a good size I might buy a whole roll of 25meter. In that case, I'll let you know.Winds of shit...

I searched and tried SEVERAL types until I found ones that have the right size and density - it is rc fuel line tubing and its a specific size that is perfect for all my machines. If you do a search the info is posted (I think) here somewhere. If not I can get you the info tommorow including part number. It is called Medium but there is more than one size. Thats why i suggest the part number and brand
I have sent a couple of samples to people on here and they can give you their $0.02
the size you want is 3/32 3/16 - that translates to 4.5mm or smaller, (outside diameter) better to go smaller (4mm) typically "medium" fuel line
