I figured heat shrink tubing might be flexible enough before it is shrunk to
conform, but once heated it is pretty stiff. Could you use some of the heat
shrink thin walled tubing that is softer and not heat it? Another idea
might be to wrap the fuel line with black thread. Sound tedious, but fly
tying and my Uilleann Pipes both require wrapping line in close order wraps
to get color and/or air tight seals. There are many different types of
thread and different sizes of thread as well. You could use a soft
embroidery thread since it would flatten out fairly wide, thus requiring
fewer wraps to cover the tube. Hey, I just thought of some of the woven
tubes that are used to cover high heat electric wiring like for ranges and
toasters. You might be able to locate some of that wiring or just some sort
of woven tube that might be carried by a sewing shop or a craft store.

Ok, that is enough suggestions. I am looking forward to seeing if any of
these products might be of use to Mr. Lunkenheimer and Associate.
If you do not know Uilleann Pipe music (not the same as Scottish Highland
pipes, people dance to and like listening to Uilleann Pipes in a tavern or
living room, while Highland Pipes I think sound great on a hill some
distance away) Listen to a great Uilleann Chanter sound sample by clicking
on David Power
