Default 3/8 soft Al tubing?

Anyone know of a local source for soft aluminum tubing? I only need a short piece and would rather not order it online.

For the fuel pickup tube, I need about a foot of 3/8" OD x 0.35 (wall thickness).

Home Depot, Lowe's, Ace hardware don't seem to have what I need.


Thanks,

Thanks,
I have been told this tubing is used in the HVAC industry. Might be worth a call to a jobber or technician that services that community.
