I'm thinking of putting my CO2 tank in my basement and run an eva barrier line to the upstairs kegerator. Might be ~20ft or so.

I know EvaBarrier is good at reducing oxygen ingress but is there a limit with how long the line is vs how much O2 gets in?
 
Obviously every foot of length multiplies any tubing's intrinsic permeability so it's best to start out with really good tubing like EVAbarrier.
fwiw, I have at least twenty feet of EVA tubing running from inside one of my fermentation fridges over to where I purge my kegs, never gave the length much of a thought. Still don't :)

Cheers!
