I am a oiler(fairly green) at a large log mill. I currently switched grease and the new grease is alot thicker. My 1/4 poly tubing that I run out of my grease blocks seem to be blowing apart way to much. It isn't in the budget to run them all with hydraulic lines, so anyo9ne have any suggestions on any other types of tubing that would be better off? Teflon tubing or what have you? Or any other methods that might better suit me.

Thanks abunch, I cant get enough of reading previous threads. Sure is helping this newbie oiler do a much better job.

Nylon tubing usually has a much higher pressure rating than poly.
