Mine is scheduled for the rubber replacement with the upcoming annual condition
inspection in May. I did replace the fuel lines around the electric fuel pump
last year. The lines were cracked and seeping fuel. I didn't check the lines
that are under the carpeting, but my guess would be that they as well should
be replaced. I just don't know if the carpet that is glued in will be a problem
to replace or re-glue.

Hi Guys,
Hi Brian, hope this helps some.
If you are an SLSA, have a Rotax engine and are supposed to follow the Rotax manual
as stated by your aircraft MFG. then you must do a 5 year rubber replacement
as stated by Rotax to remain airworthy. If you are ELSA then you can do as
you please, but remember you can't pull over to the curb and hoses do start to
flake inside at times or fail.
You need to replace all rubber hoses that have to do with fuel (from the tanks
to the carbs), coolant, oil, the carb rubber mounting sockets, the carb diaphragm,
some "O" rings in the process. If you have the stainless steel fuel lines
that attach to the carbs they do not need to be replaced, but if you have the
red rubber fuel attachment lines they do, hence the price difference in the estimates.
Many people will need to pull their engines to do this. Parts cost,
depending on your plane, will run from $900 - $1300. California Power Systems
a.k.a. CPS has a parts list that I set up, but I set it up for a CTSW and your
hose lengths will be a little different, but many standard parts are the same.
Your hoses on the fuel lines may be a little longer or shorter.

Roger,
Thanks for your posting. As always it has useful information for all of us. The
rubber replacement listing that you made for CPS, do you think you could share
that with the rest of us? I know that I would like to pass that along to my
mechanic to save some research time.
Thanks,
Larry

Hi Larry,
Shoot me your email address and I'll be happy to send it to you. You may have some
different hose lengths on your Allegro so I would look over the list and compare
to your own plane. many parts may be the same in metric size just a different
length.
