Marv, the stuff I'm talking about makes 1/8 ID look like sewer pipe. I'm considering 1/8 OD stuff that uses the -2D fittings. That gives you an ID of only 69 thousanths. I realize that there is not a lot of "flow" but some flow is necessary to produce the pressure, and with an ID this small I was just wondering if it wouldn't be too restrictive. Has anyone actually used this? How did it work out? Bill Harrelson harrelson@erols.com N38BH
