I got tired of the Kalk drip end clogging over time. This can also be used for Alk dripping. The humidity in the chamber keeps the tips from clogging.

The tubing is off the shelf 2" acrylic.

The top has a John Guest bulkhead for quick removal of the drip line. The three pieces just snap together for easy cleaning.

To keep the Kalk from concentrating in the chamber I directed flow from the carbon reactor to the inside of the tubing.

On dirtbikes that have drain tubes off the carb, they just cut the tube lengthwise, about an inch. In other words, they split the tube lengthwise, cutting it in half, for about an inch. It keeps mud from clogging them up.
