Jim,
Many thanks for your words of wisdom. As you're probably aware, in the UK we seem
to enjoy less freedom and are subject to detailed annual permit renewal inspections.
So if my inspector says "Jump!" then I reply "How high Sir?" At last
year's inspection he told me that he would like me to replace the sight gauge
tubing before the next inspection, preferably using the TYGON which seemingly
is being used by several UK aircraft types.
I'll have to keep my fingers crossed, hoping that it lasts as long as what is currently
installed and still in quite good condition after 26 years. Unfortunately
the old tubing was supplied by Europa as part of the build kit, with no way
now of knowing who manufactured it. The picture of what I've already ordered
shows fairly clear tubing without a hint of yellow. It'll be interesting to
see what comes out of the package.
My other hope is that the formulation of US mogas may be a little different from
the UK. For one thing, we can still buy mogas at certain fuel stations with
zero ethanol in it, which is what I always use.
Jonathan

Jonathan you could find another inspector. Thats what happens when I tell LAA members
something they dont like at permit time. Especially if it involves them
spending money or their aircraft maybe grounded. Safety usually comes a poor
third. Not sure why after all this time your inspector is quoting MPD 1998-019
R1. Unless he's new to you. Its been around since 1998 and should be carried
out every permit renewal inspection. I carry it out on any aircraft it am carrying
out a Permit renewal inspection on. I inspect all flexible lines and hose
for deterioration. Not just fuel lines.
I have only found out about Tygon hose in the last week. I've only ever used standard
commercially available fuel hose. I change it on-condition. Because its
cheap it gets changed often as needed and not every 26 years. If I was going
your inspection I would suggest that to you. Unless you really want Tygon hose
at that is.

Is this an alternative to the Tygon Tube we are all talking about?

| Subject: | Europa fuel sight guage shorter route up seat back |
After looking through documents available at The Europa Club, LAA Europa TADS and
my paper documents, I can't find anything giving Mod approval or instructions
/ diagrams on how to re-route the fuel sight guage from the tank outlet in
the tunnel and up the seat back, which several Europas seem to have done.
I'm considering doing this, but need to have some documentary support to show my
inspector. Please help. Thank you.
