Same here.....

We have tubing for gavage feeding that has orange striping on it (similar to the feeding tube itself) that cannot be mistaken for medline. We also use the microbore tubing for all meds (except blood transfusions) so that makes it clear which tubing is which as well.
All of our gavage feedings are placed on a syringe pump and run in over 30 minutes. Some babies with reflux or tolerance issues have longer infusion times.

We use the same tubing most have posted about, the orange tip and end for luer lock syringe.
