Hi! Again Roger.
Just got my brain into gear !!! The TECH TALK section in the Europa Aircraft
News Dec. 2000 has an item on the blessed pipes ! However it reads like you
are OK with Polyurethane ?
The correct hose from Europa is 10mm dia. The 12mm dia is PVC and no
longer suitable.
Regards again .

Hi! Roger.
I read something about this recently ..... the original tubing Europa
supplied has been superceded by a different specification tubing . The new
specification happens to be slightly smaller in diameter and must replace
all the larger diameter on first annual inspection.
Hopefully this will promote someone to make a authoritative statement . I
know that I'm a bit miffed about it, this will be the third time of
reworking the damn fuel pipes, plus I used the redundant type in my special
seat back sight gauge. !
Regards
Bob Harrison, G-PTAG

I had been planning to use polyurethane tubing for this, but the sample
piece I just removed from my fuel can is badly discoloured and slightly
expanded after 2 months exposure to auto fuel - not ideal.
Has anybody identified a material that does not degrade in this way?
Thanks for any feedback.
Rog Sheridan.
