The old tubing (probably tygon?) was stiff as a board and discolored. The polyurethane has remained as flexible as when it was new and has discolored very little. When a tank becomes empty, the bubbles in the sight tubes coming up the left side of the console catch your eye easily. I'm completely satisfied with this design. They are easily visible in the picture of my panel on my web site: http://members.home.net/rbelshe Bob Belshe N19BJ 400+ hours >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> LML website: http://www.olsusa.com/Users/Mkaye/maillist.html LML Builders' Bookstore: http://www.buildersbooks.com/lancair Please send your photos and drawings to marvkaye@olsusa.com. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
