Hi Steve,
I agree that the fuel lines are more critical. If we all changed to silico
n for the coolant and SAE 30-R14 spec fuel hoses (or -R9 if you don
=99t mind stiffer hoses) it would largely solve the problem of ethanol atta
cking the fuel hoses.
If the hoses are inspected carefully each annual for surface cracking or si
gns of becoming =9Cstiff=9D I would personally be happy to go b
eyond 5 years but that is clearly a decision for each owner and his inspect
or in the UK.
Regards
Brian

I think you are right Brian but it=99s probably prudent to do the fue
l lines. I did all mine last year and found that all the coolant and oil ho
ses were good as new and it seemed a waste. The fuel hoses had become a bit
stiff but were also otherwise good. I only use normal unleaded fuel which
contains ethanol..not wasting money on super unleaded!! L

At the risk of stepping into a hornet=99s nest I think you will find
that the 5 year rubber replacement as a mandatory action only applies to ce
rtified aircraft and Gyros on a permit in the UK.

My 912ULS is coming up to 5yrs (although only done 70hrs!) & I understand t
hat all rubber components
have to be replaced. Has anyone out there done this recently & can tell me
how to source all the appropriate
bits? It sounds like =98one helluva job=99 & presumably involve
s all the fuel pipes, oil, coolant & carb components ?
Thankyou Paul Munford G- OVPM (kit 625)
