Look up "hose" or "hydraulic" in your area. If you're in the U.S., you'll likely find a hose house near you. The choices that these places offer are generally great. There are atleast three advantages: you'll probably be supporting the local economy, they have access to the catalogs and reference material that can tell you both what the right stuff is for the job (they normally know or can find pressure/vacuum ratings and resistances also) , and you will probably need them again so, you're more likely to talk to the same Schmoe again. That will save you some time. Plus, its what they do.
I've worked in a couple of hydraulic shops and I always got excited to help someone that was doing something different.
Good luck,
Take care,
Ken

Hello all,
I have lurked on the list for many months... I am building my own
version of an appleseed based processor. I am looking at methanol
recovery, and was wondering what I can use (flexible tubing) for the
methanol?
My thought is to recover the methanol via applying a vacuum to the
system. Lowes carries high pressure hoses (I think for pressure washers)
which I believe would withstand the vacuum, but unsure if the hose
itself would react poorly with the methanol. (They don't know what the
hose is made of, as they aren't provided that information.)
Assistance appreciated.
Thanks,
S
