current recommended varieze fuel line?

[rsalmon]

After spending considerable time researching thru CP's and CSA newsletters, I'm still a little confused as to the currently recommended fuel line for a varieze.

I have a replacement fuel valve to install, but would like to get the latest fuel line to replace my "old stuff"

Any "guru's" care to fill us clueless ones in?

 

Thanks

Under the spar forward of the firewall MIL-H-6000 will work well. Aft of the firewall in the engine compartment use AEROQUIP 303 or STRATOFLEX 111. with the proper fittings ACS & WICKS both carry one or the other. Other hose might work but this is known aircraft stuff that works. Where is Crothersville IN ? I am in Three Rivers MI

the plans call for 3/8" 3003-0 aluminum versatube for all fuel lines. forward of the firewall. the same can be used aft of the firewall but stainless steel is a better choice. any hoses used should be aircraft type rated for fuel with a fire sleeve. the best choice is the teflon with stainless steel braid like aeroquip 666 it lasts a life time and is the lightest and smallest OD for a given size. they are not cheap but it is only gasoline and your butt both in the same aeroplane
