| Subject: | Re: Fuel Line Growing |
Thank you both for your replies.
I had sent Goodyear an email before my first post, but got no reply. (I told them
the installation was on an airplane, so I suppose I shouldn't have expected
one.)
Using the link that you posted, I called them and spoke to the "tubing specialist".
They were very friendly and helpful, by the way. He said that there is
some permeation of the fuel into the rubber, and that some expansion is normal.
Delamination should not occur. And yes, total immersion in fuel is not recommended.
My installation does not use the tubing immersed in fuel, so I am not going to
worry about it. I will make it a part of my normal pre-flight to check for deterioration
of the fuel lines and to check the fuel flow rate at the gascolator.
