As Hammer & Star says
TYGON and only tygon that is branded with both the name TYGON and the product number
I get almost daily emails from vendors offering me "genuine plastic fuel lines in popular yellow colour "
A 500' roll of this is about the same as the wholesale price of a 20' roll of real Tygon from one of my local wholesalers .
And it gets more complicated as genuine petrol tube comes in more sizes than Tygon make. I think I have around 14 different sizes .
And most sizes come in 2 different wall thicknesses , thick tube for the suction line ( fuel tank to carb ) and thin walled tube for the return line to the tank.
The above is for tools that use grommets .
If it just has a hole in the case then you need heavy walled for both sides
On top of that a lot of he stuff out of China is metric where as most USA stuff uses imperial and some of the MTD stuff uses MTD specific tube in some silly 64th inch size that I can not get wholesale so I fit new carbs to them that take normal tube
I might consider buying some off a reel in an auto parts store, but off amazon or ebay, no way in the wide world and a hardwear or general store like Ace or Wally forget it .
These hand helds can and do burst into flames caused by leaking fuel lines , most commonly on chain saws
