   I used drip irrigation line for mine.   It's what I had around and it
seems up to the task...been good now for almost two years...probably time to
check again soon, but when I recently removed and replaced my motor I looked
carefully at all the possible chafe points and the ends of my fuel lines and
everything looks good.
