Good evening Folks,
Are AN fittings and AN fuel line the only acceptable material for the run
from the gascolator to the carb?
Are automotive fuel line and band clamps unacceptable?
Is fire sleeve recommended?
Aeronautically yours,

Ian,
Two things to take into consideration. Is auto fuel line acceptable to your
inspector, and are you comfortable with it ?
Most LSA aircraft are using firesleeved automotive fuel line and hose clamps
without problem. It is hard to use AN fittings when using a Bing carb.
My advice is to use the best quality auto fuel line rated for unleaded and
ethanol fuel and firesleeve it.

In the UK on permit aircraft automotive fuel line with 'band clamps' are
widely used.
Can't say I've seen flexible fuel lines in an engine bay without fire
sleeve. though I suppose if Aeroquip style hose was used that wouldn't
be so important.
