Interesting consumable(s) found

Wow, great finds both. I'm going to immediately check my 5.5mm fuel line stock to see if I need any more, that's a tremendous value.
 
Well, scratch the fuel line "glitch" - the warehouses are sold out and the superceded part number is a far shorter length of hose. Honda dealers do have this same 5.5mm hose in "Bulk Hose", MSRP is $1.29/ft.

Dammit. I saved that link and each time I checked back it showed out of stock. At least the car dealers likely still have it, though the nearest one to me is about 30+ miles.

Yeah - I got greedy and ordered 4 when it said "In stock". Then they hit me with a "Backordered" and finally fessed up to "NLA" and sent me this as a "comparable replacement/Superceded part".

Banana for scale (& breakfast)

CLEARLY a foot of OEM hose there.... 🙃
 
I have about 4-5ft of 5.5 (rounded up) fuel line with a view line if you want it. Just taking up space in my shop.
I found this line for go-karts, mopeds and pocket bikes. Pm if interested. No biggie.

I ordered a roll of Honda 5.5 fuel line last month from Rocky Mountain ATV. I think it was 10 or 12 feet long.

Yeah, 4into1 used to sell it by the foot but later went to 5 foot lengths, lately over $25 per. Still the best thing to use though.

I just went back and looked at my order. It’s 3000 mm long, so right at 10 feet . Cost is 43 dollars. Building tidy stuff sure isn't cheap anymore.
