An update: I ordered the tubing that ATP recommends but it's too loose on the actuator. And they claim that the 1/8" hose is too tight on the pressure fitting. So it looks like the fuel line I'm using is the best thing I've found. But I've got to think that somewhere out there there's a hose that will fit over the pressure port yet is squishy enough to tighten on the actuator.
