Subject: Europa-List: Who has fuel pipe experiences I can use on  Europa-


1/ Europa system with "rubber" hose, I am put off by permeability & 5 yr life,

couple of inches of ptfe to link sight gauge considered if I need to fit any 
flex connections.( replace sight gauge tubewith single capacitance system in 
uk, I am considering flow measurement also)?.

2/ Versatube -6 3/8"aluminium fuel systems seem good but special tools for 
flaring, have heard of Swagelock fittings used instead of AN fittings, 
wouldthey beapproved or fail UK rules.

or -3/ Nylaflow Nylon -6 3/8" tubing used with brass (flareless)Polyflow elbows

and fittings (with tube ferule inserts) (Listed as fuel pipes pge 103 & 105 
aircraft spruce USA 2011 catalogue.(I am aware of history withPTFE fuel pipe 
static discharge perforations prior to aeroquipe 666 carbon conductive tube, but

seems to be due to tracking to stainless steel sheaves, are you aware of any UK

restriction on use of Nylon )?

For price and durabilitycombination of the above is currently preferred, using

Aeroquipe 666 firewall forward with fire sleeve insulation (as per Europa heat

insulation mod).

Fuel pump Facet 40106 4-6 psi 30 gph, I do not want to install in back of a/c ,I

believe x xxxx has his fuel pumps for 914 forward LAA mod approved, ( less 
fuel line and fittings) any thoughts/objections.

The existing Europa fuel tap would be rotated 180 degrees so outlet faces 
forward &the pump... probably move selector valve vertical and the LH /RH tank

inlets would come in on the horizontal (Tri Gear so electric flap actuation, &

tunnel is available for pumps and pipes)

Fuel filter..I would prefer to fit a single combined gascolator incorporating a

large capacity filter firewall forward ( rather than two small filters liable to

blockage under seat pans with more joints) I have the Europa modwater drain kit

..pair of drains and would do shortest practical run down and out.

Practical experience and facts more than welcome, would prefer to install for 10

to 15 yr durability, also any available club 37 degreeflaring tools? or anyone

prepared to purchase as syndicate, or dies I could copyto use withmy brake 
line flaring kit...

Regards 

Kevin
