Hi Bud,
"would the LAA allow such a simple mod"- Nobody is standing in the way of
simple mods, it's just that no one has asked!

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
mod that only costs a few bucks to make? The certified welder is the only
cost. 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
fit.
Best Regards,

Anthony, It would be interested to know whether you usually fill the fuel
system (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
most of its life in contact with fuel or with fumes? Regards, David Joyce,

Dear David,
For your information my fuel filler hose dated 2001 was inspected
independently by two engineers including my inspector and found to be in
very good condition inside/out.Fuel used over the years was BP premium
unleaded .Pending a suitable replacement the hose will be refitted. It
should be possible 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 the
LAA coming up with an approved solution fairly soon

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.
