I have a "sniffer" that always pins it down to the fuel lines so I know that is where the fumes are coming from. Not real strong, but enough that it is noticeable when I get in the airplane. If the advertising is legit, those hoses should work. Please give us a report on how it goes. Deke NE Michigan S5/Soob/ 465TT [quote="Dick Maddux"]I just read about this hose in my old British car catalog .As I am getting some slight gas fumes in the cockpit when I open the door of my Kitfox, this sounds like a good replacement for the fuel hose that I have been using AND if I end up using Ethanol, It can handle that. Dick Maddux Fox 4 Milton,Fl Low Permeation Barricade Hose Prevents Fuel Vapor Loss While Delivering Peak Fuel Efficiency DENVER, CO - Oct. 27, 2009 Gates Corporation today launched Barricade fuel hose, an innovative new hose that saves gas and protects the environment. The low-permeation Barricade Hose prevents fuel vapor loss while delivering peak fuel efficiency. Its designed for virtually any engine application thats equipped with a conventional carburetor, including cars, trucks, ATVs, tractors, and lawn and garden equipment. Barricade hose is the lowest permeation, multi-fuel compatible hose on the market today, said Senior Product Manager Richard Mirtz. Our patent-pending Greenshield Barrier Technology allows Barricade to exceed stringent California Air Resource Board (CARB), EPA and other state and federal requirements, making it the most environmentally responsible fuel line hose in the industry. Plus, with an average annual fuel savings of approximately one gallon per vehicle, Barricade hose can dramatically reduce the amount of gasoline consumed by U.S. motorists. Hydrocarbon vapors escape or permeate into the atmosphere through the body of fuel line hoses as gasoline or diesel fuel is conveyed through the system from the fuel tank to the engine. Gates built-in Five-layer Greenshield Barrier Technology enables Barricade Hose to achieve five times less fuel vapor permeation (1gr/m2) and fuel waste than conventional hoses. In addition, unlike standard fuel line hoses, Barricade hose can accommodate more fuel types, including Gasohol, Diesel, Bio-Diesel, Ethanol, Gasoline and Methanol. Gates Barricade Fuel Line Hose is available at local parts stores throughout the United States. > [b] -------- Deke Morisse Kitfox S5 TD NSI/CAP Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=343262#343262 ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 05:05:46 AM PST US Subject: Kitfox-List: Re: Speed From: "Fox5flyer" Ten years ago I installed wheel pants on my S5 and noticed an immediate speed improvement. Not a lot, but 3-5 mph at cruise which adds up and saves fuel. I have a farm strip that can be wet and somewhat muddy in the spring time which makes a mess of the airplane, thus the main reason I installed them. No more mess. I leave them on now year around. I don't fly in the winter time so snow and ice is not an issue. Deke NE Michigan S5/Soob/465TT [quote="redrocketrider"]Hi kitfox aviators ! Doing a extensive annual and wheel change and looking to possibly install a set of wheel pants that we now have. These puppies' are really of rather dubious size and shape. All you speedster guys, did you see any difference in speed with the wheel pants off and then installed ? thanks for your opinions.
