Anyone know what the included narrow rubber tubing is for?

For a Woods tyre valve. Now rarely used but very common when
I was a kid. One could buy the valve tubing by the yard and
i often did to use as fuel tube for my model aircraft that
used i.c. engines.

Have a gander at

To see a Woods valve and a description of its function.

The fuel would dissolve the rubber after a while, but it was
en excellent rubber band for a rubber band propelled model
aircrafts especially if it was lubricated with a special
oil.. Erik
