I recently purchased a Kamoer x1 dosing pump and made a homemade dosing container with a standard 1/4 in bulkhead. Now that I’ve opened the pump, I’ve realized the tubing that comes with the dosing pump is too small for the bulkhead (it came with 4mm tubing) and it won’t seal/prime. Is there an adapter where I could just buy some 1/4 airline tubing to then connect to the bulkhead? (I’ve searched till I’m dizzy and can’t find anything). Thanks I’m adjacent!
 
Hey, did you solve this? I’ve just bought a D and D pump and a TMC container and have the same issue
 
I did not unfortunately. I get never find any tubing rigid enough to seal with the bulkhead that could subsequently fit an adapter on the other end to seal with the dosing pump. I ended up buying a small simplicity dosing container that worked perfectly with flexible airline tubing (and prob would've spent a lot less just doing that to start with instead of making my own.. ha). Good luck to you.
