Vinyl Fuel Lines

I want to replace the discolored the vinyl lines that connect from primer pump and fuel filters as well as the one for the alda. Where is the best place to find a place for these? I cant find them anywhere.

The dealer is the best place and the cheapest too.

About less than $10.00 for the fuel filter to pump.

They are not vinyl. and you can get them for a reasonible price from anyone who deals with Benz parts...the brass fittings are part of the lines.

My guess is they are nylon. McMaster sells DOT grade nylon 11 tubing. Back in my SAAB days I used to replace those lines by warming the ends and driving the barbs on the banjo fitting into the tube. just make a split clamp to hold the tube. I got the idea from the SAAB FSM, which showed just how to do it.

I believe the trade name for that line is Vytek.

And the fittings are not brass, either. Cadmium plated steel. Looks somewhat like brass.
