Hmm, service packs have about 5 feet of tube and 4 T's for 3.25, which is
cheaper that the ~$5.15 for the fuel line and T's. I guess if you need
continuous lengths the fuel line might be worth it, but otherwise...
I'm not sure what the desired lengths are, but you can splice two pieces of
pneumatic tubing together with a short piece of the hard plastic decorative
Lego tubing. You can also use the same hard tubing as regular air-lines.

| The best I've found for replacement tubing is from a hobby shop that carries model air planes (the really big ones). The fuel tubing they use is perfect, bring a pneumatic cylinder w/you for an exact fit. They have "T"s too!!! Tube isn't cheap tho, (...) (25 years ago, 11-Mar-00, to lugnet.technic)
