Failing that OPA will do the job as resistant to all oils, all petrols, and air pressures, burst pressure of 135BAR, 1958psi.
Cheap too, the last I bought was 17mm internal 1 metre long and £5.38 inc vat.

Not according to Roose Motorsport.
Silicone has to be lined to be used with oils/fuels,not talking pressures,talking corrosion.
Normal silicon pipe will break down if used in breather/oil set ups as people on here have found out when all the bits have blocked there oil pick up and fooked there engine.
When I rang Roose he said even his flourosilicone lined oil pipe was not strong enough to take PAS fluid,he said it is highly corrosive.
