David and all,
Over here in the States we weld up a 57 degree elbow out of 2" .049 6061T-6
. Cut to fit. 2" fuel hose pieces and done.
Rather than those beautiful bent tubes, would the LAA allow such a simple m
od that only costs a few bucks to make? The certified welder is the only co
st. I cut the tube on my compound miter saw.
Curt welds it up in 10 minutes. It takes 5 minutes to trim up the ends to f
it.

Anthony, It would be interested to know whether you usually fill the fuel s
ystem (and if so ? up to the top) before you put the plane away or whether
you fill up just before you go flying. That is will that pipe have spent mo
st of its life in contact with fuel or with fumes? Regards, David Joyce, GX

Dear David,
For your information my fuel filler hose dated 2001 was inspected independe
ntly by two engineers including my inspector and found to be in very good c
ondition inside/out.Fuel used over the years was BP premium unleaded .Pend
ing a suitable replacement the hose will be refitted. It should be possibl
e to find a replacement silicone fuel approved hose. I have the Xs extended
baggage bay short hose version.

Yes 51 mm it is, but if there is no rush, there is a good possibility of th

Is 51 mm inner diameter the correct size?
I'm about to replace the fuel hoses next month and I'm afraid that the fuel
filler hose has deteriorated on the inside as well and I'd like to choose
the best available.
