OK. Time warp. Checked the Acura and it has a nice, teeny, very weird,
radiator cap. Nothing like the 912. However I did find this interesting

Unfortunately, none of the catalog stores, including Aircraft Spruce, sell 5/16
id fuel tubing. The 1/4 id line, either Bing or Tygon, works great for the vent
line, but 5/16 id is required for the lines between the wing tanks and the
header tank. If any of the usual mail order sources carried 5/16 id, I would not
have needed to order a roll from a wholesale supplier. I even searched the
Kitfox parts catalog at kitfoxaircraft.com but didn't find it.
All that said, if anyone wants to purchase enough 5/16 id Tygon line for their
Kitfox without buying a whole roll of the stuff, I have a couple 8 foot lengths
left.

I just removed some Shields Fuel Feed Hose-5/16" I.D. from my Kitfox for 3 reasons:
1. There was a perpetual, small leak at one wing tank fitting. Just enough to generate
fumes.
2. It is opaque, so I couldn't visually verify fuel flow.
3. It is fairly stiff, making solo wing folding a bit more difficult.
It is also a bit more expensive than Tygon or Bing line.
