Fix for shrunken fuel pipes was created by moneypit
I used 3/8" heat shrink tubing and slide it over the end give it a little heat and done. they fit nice and snug that they are tough to turn when back in place.

Be careful when buying heatshrink tubing, some have a meltable inner liner that will make the fix a real problem if you don't notice it.

I dip the ends in Plasti-Dip one at a time once & let it dry hanging with the end pointed down, then do the other. Works for me, your results may vary. Plasti-Dip is what you dip plier handles in. I will try the shrink tubing, very clever. Ive used the teflon tape too.

Definitely Z1 Ent. has the Fuel T's and is the Best Option, but saving Money is always Good!
Moneypit, how is the shrink tubing holding up? I have some inexpensive 3/8" Harbor Freight heat shrink tubing, but don't what type of chemical resistive properties it may have?
