The semi-transparent yellow tube lets you visually confirm flow while the material resists swelling, hardening, and embrittlement that typical hydrocarbons cause in ordinary plastics. It is intended for non-potable fluid service such as engine lines, heating fuels, glycol-based coolants, and similar applications where compatibility with petroleum products is required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does this tubing stand up to gasoline and other fuels?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTygon F-4040-A is formulated specifically to tolerate contact with gasoline, kerosene, heating oils, cutting fluids and many glycol-based coolants without degrading quickly.
