| Subject: | Re: Fuel hose length required |
How long is a piece of string?
Seriously it depends on your build, if you have the fuel pump in the rear or in
the redundant wheel well on the trigear. Where is the fuel pressure and flow
gauges etc.
There are many fuel tolerant hoses available and those in modern vehicles are ethanol
tolerant as well as fire retardant.

Hi Group
I was in contact with Nev on this subject and he warned against making the tailwheel
spring too "STUCK" to the fuse. He said it's OK to make things a little
stronger, but if yo make things "TOO" strong, instead of bending the bolt (EZ
to replace) you can trash the aft fuse.
You can see my resolution on page #1:
http://www.europaowners.org/main.php?g2_itemId=27732
Note: If you replace the recommended factory cable adjusters with turn-buckles,
you can easily defeat that simple solution and shoot yourself in the foot. See
page #2 of above link. If you pull rudder pedals just slightly forward with
turn-buckles installed, the cable can easily twist and jam that side shorter.
For a Mono especially, that could be a real bad thing. Some shrink wrap can easily
fix that potential problem.
