Size please...
Thanks

You didn't indicate you didn't have any original samples.
Really the best thing to do would be to take the top off of your filler, take it somewhere and do a test fit.
The problem with measurement is this tubing swells, shrinks and changes over time. My measurements were taken at the end and I had to guess what they might be...
That being said, here are
my measurements:
OD .3125 which is 5/16. Wall thickness, 1/16. ID then, is 3/16. It seems to fit and work fine, or at least it has for some time now. This is the tubing from the bottle to the pump; the tubing from the pump to inside the nozzles is a bit smaller.
That would make it something like this:
http://www.usplastic.com/catalog/variant.asp?catalog%5Fname=USPlastic&category%5Fname=7510&product%5Fid=8073&variant%5Fid=57107This is a pretty standard size, and I would bet I got mine at Home Depot. I'll check around my car wash Richard and if I have any I'll email you offline and send you a piece. Hope this helps.
