Videos -winter -ethanol gas talk
winter flying Rotax engine and starting up at -20c
while the rest of you sit in your chairs :)
Fueling up a plane with ethanol gas then flying for 2 hours at -18C
did the tanks melt ? did we get phasse separation?
did the lines freeze?
Did we have to get out survival kits ?

| Subject: | HOSE FOR ROTAX 912 |
With spring somewhere in the future (I hope) I am thinking of replacing the hoses
on my Rotax 912. The oil hose is almost 8 years old and the fuel hose about
4 years old. I burn auto gas containing alcohol and wanted some advice from
folks on what fuel and oil hose to use.

You should consider SAE30R7 for low pressure especially for gasohol. If the
fuel is pressurized then SAE30R9 is recommended. These can also be used for
oil I believe. See attached Goodyear cut sheets.
Hope this helps.

JOE,
These Goodyear hoses are all English sizes and are not metric. Do you see
any problems trying to fit them to a Rotax engine??

LES: I don't know how they would fit as I have not used this hose. I just
did some research on material compatibility with gasohol and found the
SAE/Goodyear products. I guess it would depend if you are pushing the hose
over a barb and using a clamp or have a threaded hose end fitting. The later
may be available with an English dimension to fit onto the hose and a metric
thread to connect to the engine.
Sorry I can't be of more help with this.
Joe R
PS: Also be careful what material you use for fittings with gasohol. See the
following link for some information on material compatibility with gasohol

Hi Dave,
I agree with you. Ethanol is simply not an issue for most new planes.
The problems with Cessna, Piper, Lycoming, and Continental is they
don't want to remove the antique cork gaskets and sloshing materials
in the original type certificates. That cost money!

Why don't you go to a Chevy dealer and see what they're using for fuel line
in the Flex fuel cars? If it will stand up to E 85 in the engine compartment
of a car it should work fine in a plane. As for metric conversion there's
most likely something close enough to work just fine even though it's
measured in inches.

Not a problem... Flying an certified plane on ethanol is not allowed in this
country with few exceptions all of which have to do with testing.
