continued use of lengths of the original factory supplied hose, subject to a

his option in the standard mod as we don=99t have an LAA aircraft with
one fitted to form the basis of the standard mod.

truly fuel proof and non porous, but it will of course take a long while to
get that approved by LAA as an alternative mod.
