What is the correct ID and OD for the Onan drawer to fuel pump. Should I go with Tygon or Stens True Blue? Are they the same? I think I am getting
the " refigerator door light" syndrome where it runs fine pulled out and pinches off put away. Age is unknown so want to eliminate the risk by
installing fresh.

John,

I would shy away from Tygon, it pinches off too easily.**
I don't have any experience with Stens True Blue.

**I did all of mine with Gates Barricade. After I finally got around to redoing the fuel line for the APU, everything looked and worked great...
Until I slid the PowerDrawer in, then 30~45 seconds it would stumble and quit. I could not restart it from inside, but from outside, it would take
some cranking and then run just fine. I would like to have you believe that I found that the extra few inches I added to the fuel line made it kink
when the draw was pushed in right away.

Ok I'll see if I can find a screen door tension spring to mimic what came on them originally to dress the hose. That's the only place a Tygon type
hose was found so I thought they put it there so it would not pinch but I guess the opposite is the case. I remebered that from the Onan discussion
at Chippewa Falls.

What about Tyron with the electrical plastic wire cover over it to prevent kinking?
