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. -------- Jim Feldmann, 3rd owner 1994 Kitfox IV Speedster / 912 Working on my Sport Pilot Certificate Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=243733#243733 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Other Matronics Email List Services ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Post A New Message rotaxengines-list@matronics.com UN/SUBSCRIBE http://www.matronics.com/subscription List FAQ http://www.matronics.com/FAQ/RotaxEngines-List.htm Web Forum Interface To Lists http://forums.matronics.com Matronics List Wiki http://wiki.matronics.com Full Archive Search Engine http://www.matronics.com/search 7-Day List Browse http://www.matronics.com/browse/rotaxengines-list Browse Digests http://www.matronics.com/digest/rotaxengines-list Browse Other Lists http://www.matronics.com/browse Live Online Chat! http://www.matronics.com/chat Archive Downloading http://www.matronics.com/archives Photo Share http://www.matronics.com/photoshare Other Email Lists http://www.matronics.com/emaillists Contributions http://www.matronics.com/contribution ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- These Email List Services are sponsored solely by Matronics and through the generous Contributions of its members.
