you don't use nylon piping? from home depot? or you normally use braided fuel hose?

I personally get my tubing from a local autoparts store/home depot

Contact the manufacturer of your unit I'm sure they can sell you the lines. Curious, I've heard this happened before from different members. How did it rip?

That braided line is tough to break, but there are plenty of sharp edges in the trunk. You have two options that i know of, either give steve@smc or if you check the coolingmist site they sell it by the foot.

Cheers!

Braided line > nylon line.
Call Steve at SMC or make your own line from Mcmaster-Carr parts.

He has ss line... Its a little harder to come by...

Converting to nylon tubing would be a much cheaper alternative though.

Cheers!

not in this case

It's always a good idea enclose modified electrical wiring, *nylon* meth 1/4" tubing, non-oem vacuum hoses in "wireloom protector" ...
