Are you just running the nylon tubing from the needle valve up to the gauge, or is there something more durable to withstand the fuel inside it?

I had a hard nylon type tube that I ran from my needle valve to my gauge for a while... It ended up getting really really soft and I ended up replacing it with a diesel rated 1/4" fuel line with a push loc fitting on the gauge and needle gauge.. Been that way for almost 2 years now

OK, that's what I was wondering about the nylon tubing. Figured it would be fine for a while, but was worried the diesel would start eating it. I'll have to track down some diesel rated fuel line and add that to my list of projects.

I hope to make this one. I don't have any real pressing things to do to my truck. I can probably help charlie supervise.
I still haven't installed Mikes track bar bushings,
maybe he will bring his handy dandy tool.

. Back in 02, everyone was paranoid about possible diesel leaks in the cab! No fun to work with but will probably out last my truck. Diesel rated fuel line is very stiff...No?Because the gauge is a closed system, the needle valve can be 99% closed off and still work (actually protects the gauge better that way)...
I'm surprised the nylon tubing would be a problem. Lots of guys using it.
