I see you've had a lot of response from this so I thought I'd send in
my two cents. I used the fuel injection hose throughout the entire
system. I figured in the unlikely event of an impact it's the most
flexible and has the least chance of breaking. All the drag racers
around here swear by it. Its very easy to work with, and you can get it
at most auto parts store. The negative is it's a bit expensive but
worth it.

I see rather belatedly that the fabric co vered fuel hose is not
recommended for installation. Is this so?
If so what is recommended? What is the most durable stuff (for
trigear)? I plan to run on AVGAS.

Avgas is compatible with this hose. Its the auto gas that causes issues with hoses due to additives such as alcohol etc.

No, not at all heavier. Has a very good 'barrier liner' to stop fuel that
permeates, used for fuel injected marine engines, and a good 2 spiral
reinforcement. Therefore didn't use the outer reinforced fuel hose
recommended through the tunnel.
Cheers,

The discussion so far has left out the important caveat that while metal fuel lines are nice for the cockpit
module, most authoritative authors recomment that FWF that flex lines be used. This would be
doublely important for Rotax engines that try to shake themselves off their mounts on every start and stop.
I used the hose that came with the kit and was simply told to expect to replace it every three-five years. So far in 3 years, one oil
hose is developing surface checking and the fuel lines look OK. As the hoses get retired, I will not use the cheap marine fuel hose that
came with the kit, but will use TSO-C53 equivalent teflon like Aeroquip 666 or Stratoflex 124.
I agree with Ron that John at Sacto Sky Ranch is an excellent choice for a supplier. He has better prices on assembled
hoses than Wicks or ACS, and is extremely knowledgeable about hoses.
NB. I purchased John's Mechanic's toolbox software and his book on piston engines.
The software is excellent (see web site for all it does: http://www.sacskyranch.com/), and the engine book is simply, the best book on technical details
of why Lycomings and Continentals are designed the way they are that I have ever seen. I really wish, he could add
some content to the book on Rotax 4 strokes.

Hi Jeff,
You seem to hang around with a bunch of car nuts. You would probably like my '88 Fiero with the 4.9 Cadillac V8.
