Fuel Lines

[Av8r3400 1178]

I need to replace all of the "soft" fuel lines in my plane.  I have no idea what the current lines are or where they cam from.

It there a problem with using rubber "automotive" fuel line?  It should be ethanol safe even if the tanks are not...  What about the site tubes and vent line?

What about filters on the lines from the wings to the header tank?  I've heard argument for and against.  What say you all?

Would reusing the fire sleeve be acceptable?

Just get you the blue line from CPS. That stuff is bullet proof and you can see what is going on.

CPS?

California Power Systems. They are like Aircraft Spruce but specialize in ultralights. Their site is a little tougher to navigate but they are cheaper on a lot of stuff than spruce.

I believe both Lockwood and Leading Edge Air Foils (LEAF) carry that blue fuel line.  It is sold under the Bing brand name and is advertised as alcohol resistant/proof fuel line.  I only buy things from CPS that I can't get through any other supplier.  I have had issues with the owner of CPS.

I buy mine from the local snowmachine shop.  Get a better deal on it that most places I have seen online.  Marinas should have some good fuel line to.
