I was chasing a small fuel leak on my PA-32 that seemed to originate at the interconnect of the 2"outboard bladder fuel tube. The tube is secured to the bladder with a band clamp. Unfortunately I over tightened the clamp and buckled the tube. The fuel tube is 2" Aluminum about 12 inches long and connects the outboard bladder and inboard tank. The tubing seems to be nothing special. Parts (67700-315) from Piper have a long lead time so my question is can I replace this with Al stock from a supplier such as Aircraft Spruce? Also does anyone know if piper fuel and vent tubing is 5052 or something else. I appreciate the response.
