Sorry to dig out a long-dead thread, but I'm having similar problems with line recently bought from morebeer. It is the Foxx superflex 3/16" inner diameter line. Any beer left sitting in the line for more than a few minutes has a strong plastic taste that is easily detectable even in an IPA. Is the solution really to just suck it up and buy some more line from someone else? Has anyone had luck in completely removing line flavor through soaking or chemical treatment? I contacted morebeer customer service about this and was told that I caused the problem by soaking the line in sodium percarbonate solution for 20 minutes, which is an interesting take on the matter but frankly seems unlikely given that the draughtquality.org manual specifically recommends cleaning beer lines with alkaline solutions for contact times of at least 15-20 minutes.
