Does anybody know what diameter plastic tubing I need to use to bleed the clutch on a Gen3 fit?

 

I always, always, always seem to be asking this question, so the last time I got an answer, I wrote it down.

3/16 fuel line

The fitting for the clutch bleed and the brake bleed is (or should be) the same.

Let us know how it goes.

 

thank you!

 

Yes my vacuum brake bleeding kit (hand drawn vaccuum) came with soft, clear plastic tubing, I think it's vinyl tubing, that was about 6 mm ID, which was a bit too loose on the brake nipples. It is almost 1/4 inch. So when I tried to suck brake fluid out of the nipple, I sucked in some air. The air apparently came into the tubing between the nipple and the tubing. So I saw air bubbles in the tubing which apparently did not come from the brake fluid. The brakes did not need to be bled but it looked like it because air was coming in from ouside the system, coming in between the tubing and the nipple. I couldn't find 3/16" vinyl tubing at Lowes or Home Depot. They had 1/4 inch ID but not 3/16. When bleeding brakes I like to look for air bubbles in clear vinyl tubing. Is there fuel line that is clear (transparent)? Or will i have to look for the bubbles, instead, in the container that the end of the tube dips into? I'm wondering if there is medical grade clear vinyl tubing, like that used for oxygen? I think the tubin on my blood pressure monitor must be 5 mm ID which is closer to 3/16 inch, but I don't want to damage a good blood pressur monitor.
