> At the weekend an LAA Inspector went to my aircraft and as a result of his
investigation, he discovered that the Fuel Pipe from the Starboard Sump to t
he Starboard Fuel Drain had literally disintegrated at a point where there w
as an elbow in the pipe. He described the pipe as having gone very soft, so s
oft it had the consistency of Spaghetti & there was a hole in it, through wh
ich you could stick your finger!

> My next task is to replace all the Fuel & Coolant Pipes because they haven
't been replaced since aircraft was built 10 years ago.

> Since my aircraft has a 914 engine there is more pipe work than in a 912S.

> Has anyone replaced all the Fuel Pipes in a 914 and if so, would you have a
detailed description of the easiest way to go about the task?

> Thanks to all who responded to my original query and to those who may resp
ond again.
