Follow-up
the red and blue tubing might be translucent PEX material but hard to look thru to see bubbles.
If you are looking for the line from the tank to the fuel pump, I made my own with clear tubing from the hardware store and a couple of pieces of copper with flare nuts. Place the clear tubing over the copper and secure with hose clampsEdward F Young. Retired HVAC ContractorSpecialized in Residential Oil Burner and Hydronics1 -
This is the one you’re talking about:

You don’t need to see bubbles when testing pressure, but the vacuum hoses are clear.
