Fuel hose question

I need a new fuel hose for my Grubee 48cc.

Does anyone know what I should ask for specifically at the auto parts store? There's an Advance Auto near my house and I was going to try there first. The stock hose is getting brittle.

Fuel line! or Fuel Hose!

They won't have clear, but get 1/4" from tank to filter and 3/16" or 5/32" from filter to carb. It must be fuel specific hose.

I just swapped mine out with some good stuff. I asked for 1/4" fuel hose at the parts store. I had to trim it to fit at the carb. It would have fit by itself but there was no room to clamp it. Eventually I'll do what Pablo said and get a smaller diameter for the filter -> carb connection.

i go to the hardware store and buy a few lengths 1-2ft of diffrent sizes(i like clear) there only like 99cents a foot,it doesnt matter to me what the hose is used for as i replace it every once in a while.and i dont use clamps and no leaks. also i dont use a inline filter just the tank one. but since i use a smaller diameter hose thers no more air in the line at all and it flows better too.

5/16" fuel hose.. get good stuff, as the plastic stuff that you get at the hardware is not safe for use as gas line, it gets hard and brittle... but there is clear hose that is safe for gas.. go to motorcycle shop to find it. auto parts stores may be able to get it but it's really stuff you find kids putting on ther ATV's and dirt bikes

Hobby shops that deal in model airplanes, especially the big 1/4 scale type will have the right size silicone, gasoline resistant hose. They sell it by the foot. Be sure to tell them it is for gasoline. They also have fuel line for model airplane fuel that won't stand up to gas. The silicone hose will not harden and is very flexible.

that's the stuff I'm thinking of.. I know motorcycle shops have it too, and even places like Speedway Motors - Street Rod Parts, Race Parts, Ford Flathead Parts, Sprint and Midget Racing Parts, Pedal Car Parts sells the red cool looking hose, just in sizes too big for the little engines

Tygon F-4040-A Fuel and Lubricant Tubing. 3/16" I.D. ( it stretches and makes a nice tight fit) U V resistent, flexible and very durable.

Where do you buy Tygon f-4040... got a link?
