I've replaces all the coolant and oil hoses with the "blue" silicone
from various autoparts catalogs. No problems. You can get
pre-fabricated bends as needed. Makes for a nice clean install....

Bob,
Did the hoses come on the engine or did you install them? Is your engine
a tractor or pusher? Is it under a cowl?

Hugh,
FWIW, all the coolant hoses on my 914 are silicone. They seem to be
working just fine, no problems at all.

hose because of its higher temperature rating but I have found out that
the water permeation rate through silicone hose is 10 to 15 times normal
2 ply heater hose. The temperature rating on normal 2 ply hose is only
125 degrees C, where the silicone hose is rated at 170 degrees C +/-. Is
anyone out there using silicone coolant hose? If so what is your
experience? If you are not using silicone hose what have you replaced
the original Rotax hose with?

Pete, I assume your engine is fully cowled. Did you install the silicone
hose or was it original on your engine. Do you know the manufacturer and
spec on the silicone hose?

Kitfox III, no problems. I add an ounce or two of coolant once in
awhile. 9 years using silicone.

Hugh,
I purchased the hoses from Stefan Ingemarsson (ingemarsson@gmail.com
<mailto:ingemarsson@gmail.com>). The set he sells is specific to the
Europa Classic or XS.
The Europa is a tractor, cowled installation.
The radiator is located below the engine.

My engine is fully cowled. Don't know the specs on the hoses. Got them at a s
emi truck parts house. Plane did not come with silicone.
