Is your large tube leaking oil because of the cracks? Or are they just
surface cracks? My immediate thought is that you could 'paint' on
several coats of Plasti-Dip (http://www.plasti-coat.com/) to stop the
leaks. The stuff is very flexible and is impervious to oil and even
battery acid - not sure about gas, though. And the stuff comes in
several colors, red, black, yellow are the ones I know about.

 Mike,
They are metric but the hard part is finding tubing that is
impervious
to oil in that size in metric. I think that Guzziology sez to get
some
fuel line in a standard size - the size I can't remember. Or maybe
you
can find some polyurethane tubing in the correct size. I tried to
find
some tubing to replace the big oil breather hose but to no avail.

 Thanks for all the imput on gas line choices. I figured but did
not know
for sure that they were metric. That will make choosing the right
size a
lot easier.
One more question as long as I have the tank off I want to change
the
oil breather lines too. I assume they are metric as well?
