Roger. Agreed, I'd rather have clear visable gas line than the rubber. You
stated your Tygon is yellow. What different colors does the Tygon come in?
Are there different composition Tygon tubing dependent on the color?

Rotax went to a higher pressure radiator cap for 912s a few years ago to
allow a little hotter coolant temp before boil over.
Thought it was less than $80 from Lockwood, in sebring Florida.

After a little research, found that the 912 uses a pressure of 1.2 bar for
the radiator cap. 1.2 bars is equivalent to 17.4 pound per square inches.
18 psi caps by Stant are available from amazon.com:
http://www.amazon.com/Stant-10234-Radiator-Cap-PSI/dp/B000B8JUG6
17 psi caps are also available from amazon.com:
http://www.amazon.com/Stant-10251-Radiator-Cap-PSI/dp/B000C8226K
I'd try one of these rater than shelling out $80. May be that your local
auto parts store can get one for you without the shipping charge.

I find this interesting. Kitfoxes generally - at least the earlier ones
with 912 and the external radiator run a bit on the cool side. Is there
another advantage for the high priced high temp thermostat? As mentioned, I
would go to the nearest auto parts store, but good luck there. If It isn't
in their computer matched with make model and year they might just shoo you
away as my two local stores did a while ago.

Hi John, The problem that I think I will have is that the coolant tank
radiator cap is about 1/2 the size of a standard cap. I know of a great
radiator shop over in Reno and I will take this gold plated beauty made
exclusively for Rotax and there probably is some smaller German car
that may have a cap this size, I am not totally toast yet, but I am
losing small amounts of coolant and it could be that all the air is not
out of the system yet, as I changed to dextron which has seemed to help
but it is 16 to 24 * F up here so it is hard to tell at this point, I
thought I would toss a new cap on just for grins but the old one
certainly looks good at the moment. Thanks for everybody's help once
again. This is the older 912. Bob
