Ira C

I had Amazon hose supply me with the high pressure steel braded hi temp stuff sold for marine use for Racing at $8-10 a foot.  When my 914 dripped oil all over the place from the turbo return line being the supplied European braded hose C I decided never to scrimp on hose again that is under heat or pressure.  Steel braid is not necessary in a Tri gear (in my opinion) aft of the fire wall.  Technically C the steel braid makes the proper tightening of the hose more difficult.

 

A couple of links I used before when looking for braided fuel hose for Amazon to find for push on (barbed) fittings that I thought would work are:

http://www.delikon.com/marine.html

http://www.paragonperformance.com/fuel%20line%20hose.html 

 

You know I use only Aeroquip FC332 push on blue hose for my oil lines if the client allows.  Great up to 250F C push on fittings work great and don't leak.  With aluminum heat shield over it where it is near exhaust or engine components it gives long service life.  It is just not real flexible.



Parker or Aeroquip hose for hi temp oil/petroleum is great also anywhere forward of the firewall C but are usually suited only for non barbed fittings such as AN type or SAE threaded fittings.  Frankly C I see Rotax going to all crimped fittings and AN connectors on the new engines.  We builders should take a lesson and have our hoses made up with proper fittings for the firewall forward.  

 

Too bad I am cheap C and NAPA high performance fuel injection hose covered by Parker fire sleeve/shield is a hard combination to beat for fast C full proof C hose clamp and barb fitting amatuer builder (like me) type construction.  

 

Just my opinion C

 Hi Bud C

 

 When you get a chance C could you please remind me what type

 of SS braided pressure hose you got to fit over the rotax hose barbs.

 

 Thanks
