T&T: Tygon Ultra

[Chester Brummett]

Since some doubt was expressed about the use of the Tygon Ultra Chemical
Resistant PVC Tubing (McMaster Carr part number 5046K15--last two digits is
size) for see-through use with diesel fuel, I called McMaster to ask their
source for this tube.  Had to call anyway; for the first time an order did not
arrive "the next day" and wanted a tracking number.

their answer, they use mulitiple sources for their tubing, cannot identify the
manufacturer; but can supply the Manufacturer part number and identification
information:

Tygon SE 200 Containment Tubing, Mfg Part Number AJD 00038.

Google on Tygon SE 200 results in a hit with Saint Gobain Performance
Plastics.

going through their information, states that the inner liner is FEP; also
states that the tubing is "Excellent" for Diesel Fuel.
