My old camp stove fuel line cracked during a trip to the Adirondacks

It was a Coleman from 2015, and the plastic just gave out in the cold. Had to use my backup jetboil for the rest of the weekend. Anyone have a good fix or know a more durable replacement line?

Man that's rough, cold really does a number on old plastic. Did you try a temporary field fix with some heat shrink tubing and a lighter? I had a buddy do that once on a fishing trip and it held long enough to get through the weekend. Honestly though, for a stove that old, you're probably looking at a full fuel line replacement kit. The newer stuff seems to have better cold-rated materials.

Wait, you used a lighter on a fuel line? That sounds like a good way to start a fire, man. I'd be way too nervous to try that, even as a quick fix. Maybe it's just me but I'd rather be cold than risk burning my gear down.
