On my Europa, it takes about 5 minutes to pull that hose into a bucket, or to replace it altogether as I did for my last annual. I used Aeroquip FC 322-8 with heat shield. Maybe you can re-route your hose? If you are building your 12 as "Experimental" instead of ELSA, please report back with your results. -------- Ira N224XS Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=297714#297714 ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 07:30:48 AM PST US Subject: RotaxEngines-List: Re: Old 912s From: "Paul Folbrecht" The earliest engines had a 10-year TBO.
