Hi, Leigh. Overhaul kits can be purchased at any reputable auto parts
dealer or Subaru dealer. Most of the EA81s came from the Subaru Brat,
if that helps. I poked through my files and finally found an email
address for Don Lorenzen, but no phone number. Sorry this took so long.

Dear Kitfox owners with a subaru EA81,
Looking for a good place to get an overhaul kit for my EA81. Also
someone made a metal piece to hold the front seal in, I think his name
is Don Lorenzen and I am looking for his phone number.

| Subject: | Fuel line growing |
I just replaced all of the flexible fuel lines (wing tanks to header and firewall
forward) with new Goodyear SAE 30R7 rubber fuel line. After a day or two I
noticed that the lines seemed to have gotten longer, so I did a test.
Immersing a 3" long piece of fuel line in fuel for 48 hours caused it to grow to
3 1/8" long. I put a piece of Gates SAE 30R7 in with it, and it grew by exactly
the same amount. Fortunately, the ID increased as well, so I am not immediately
concerned that it will restrict the fuel flow, but clearly, the fuel is
infiltrating the rubber.
The fuel I'm running right now is 50% 100LL, 50% 91 octane autogas and the appropriate
amount of Decalin. There is no measurable ethanol in the mix.
It's been warm here, so I did a control test to see if temperature would cause
expansion and contraction. I put a second 3" sample of each brand in the refrigerator
for 48 hours. No change in the length of either one.
Has anyone experienced this.
