Default Where to buy SS tubing for Fuel Injection?

I need to buy some 1/8" stainless steel tubing. the same size and type used for Fuel Injection systems.
I can't find it in ACS Catalog.
also need the ferrules and fittings to go along with it.
Anybody know where I can find it??

My RV-6 (purchsed) has a primer system using the SS tubing.
I'm moving my oil cooler to the rear baffel of #4 cyl and need to reroute the primer lines and need new tubing to do it.
Thanks in advance for your help.

I run a lot of 1/4" OD 316 stainless, .035 wall thickness, .180 ID. Rated for 10,000 psi, way overkill for this application, but it's light, cheap, readily available, and easy to hand-form.

PM me if you want some...

Question Wicks....

If 304 grade SS is OK, then Wicks has it in 1/8 x 0.020.

http://www.wicksaircraft.com/catalog...835/index.html

Can an engine guy tell us what the grade of SS should be?
