Regarding the use of nylon. Have you tried teflon. You can get it in 1/4", 3/8" OD which is compatible with all compression and push on fittings. It is good to 150-250 psi depending on wall thickness and type and it does not react to chemicals and UV which ny
lon does. For an airplane, if you want to bury it in a wing it is probably ideal. The downside is it is a little pricey. I used it as a fuel gauge as well. Works good if you use clear teflon. I used it on my Zenair and figured it was cheaper than worrying abo
ut failure down the road or the time and aggravation of having to replace it once a year as reccomended with nylon or PE.

I didn't know that the nylon stuff has such a short life. CLearly, if what
you say is true, despite the cost, teflon would be the way to go. And I
believe teflon tubing and fittings are available at my local hardware store!
