The following based on info received from Motive...
Anyone looking to source the tubing for the Motive Products Power Bleeder can get it from US Plastic Corporation who carries Superthane Ester (polyurethane) hose made by New Age Industries.
US Plastic Corporation part number: 56412, 5/16" ID, 7/16" OD. Price per foot when I ordered was $0.37.
I first used vinyl tubing sourced from the local Home Depot. That type of tubing is stiffer/harder and tended to leak at the spigot on the pump's reservoir (spigot is a tad small), even with a crimp clamp in place. The Superthane Ester tubing is softer and provided an air-tight seal.
I also used an Oetiker crimp clamp at all joints, not that it was absolutely necessary.
I also modified my Motive Products Power Bleeder for dry method use. No post use clean-up required. I'd sooner top-up my hydraulic reservoir more often than have to clean that tool.
