what clear tubing for liquid transfer?

[newbury]

I've about run out of my 30 year supply of 1/2" clear tubing. I liked to keep about 6' lengths around to transfer oil, diesel, gas, water, beer etc. and tried not to mix them up. They've gradually hardened up and split or gotten lost.

So before I go to amazon and just order another 100' or so I was wondering what y'all here would suggest using. Is there a food grade plastic I could use to transfer my beer that also holds up well with gasoline?

First thing that comes to mind is the stuff from work but that's like $90/ft lol. Hardware store variety perhaps? It's cheap, around .20-.30/ft.

I get my clear tubing from the dairy supply store, holds up well and is made for food.

Find a plumber who uses Wirsbo brand PEX tubing. It comes in red, blue or white / clearish tubing. The stuff is indestructible and I use for everything including fuel transfer, gasoline also no problem. Watch about 4:45 in to see the torch. Plumbers always seem to have 6-10 foot scraps laying around. They'll probably give you the stuff for a rack of beer. Once you try this stuff you'll never go back to regular tubing.

That was a pretty cool demo. I sure didn't know that about PEX tubing. I would love to get something that would stand up to not kinking for my pressure washer.

It's very stiff and can be rolled up but in a 4 foot loop.
