If Tygon is the clear line like on a boat, my last round crumbled after a year. I didn't notice if it was Tygon or not. I have the same on there now. It does fit right.

Tygon is a brilliant yellow color

It was probably just the crappy vinyl lines.  They get brittle almost immediately and don't last more than a year.

I recently bought the OEM hoses, sure they are expensive, but they are high quality and if you find yourself needing to remove the tank a few times as I have done since installing them, then the ease of working with the proper spring clips and hoses which are *different sizes* on each end makes the job much easier and more secure.

What do you mean about the different sizes of the spring clips?  I don't remember seeing different size clips when I removed my stock fuel lines.

I think each end of the hose itself is a different diameter.

Ride it like a 2 stroke:
1: Rev high
2: Add oil
3: Repeat

Yep different size spring clips for the different size ends on the hoses...

I bought 2 metres of this hose (7,5x12,5 mm), and it fits perfectly.
Very flexible, no problems while routing around lunchbox.
