I seem to have lost the tubes for my Mityvac 7201 oil extractor when I moved last year. Apparently Mityvac offers a tube replacement kit (MTY-822559) and an extended-length tube kit (MVA6006), but I'm having a hard time locating any reputable place to buy either kit. I see an eBay seller offering the MTY-822559 kit but they are asking $43.40 for it, and the entire oil extractor brand new (including tube kit) is only $96.83 (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0002SR7TC/?tag=atomicindus08-20).

Anyways, the kits include a 0.23" and 0.26" OD dipstick tubes and a 0.41" OD main tube, all with black rubber connectors on them to create a seal.

Anybody have any thoughts about how I can get these tubes for a reasonable price? Or does it seem I'm stuck paying $43.40 for a few feet of plastic tubing? Hah!

What about tubing for ice cube makers/dispensers, or speed shop mechanical oil pressure hookups?

You might try a hobby shop where they have RC playthings, maybe they have tubing that would work.

Find a tubing that is compatible with oil. A good one would be Tygon Fuel and Oil. No fittings though.

No good. You need a tubing that's hard enough to not **** flat under vacuum, and Tygon will not meet that need.

I use ice-maker tubing. It's PE, which handles oil just fine.
