Steve and All,

I used these hoses in the engine compartment of my IV-P, and at 1200 hours/= 6+ years of flying have been totally pleased with them. There are a lar= ge number of them on my TSIO-550E! The surface/firesleeve stands up bette= r to abrasion/oil/etc than the old-style fire= sleeves, and while a bit more expensive initially, the fact that I’v= e not had to replace any (except one I damaged) has made them a good value over time.

Mark,

I believe it was Kitplanes that said the #1 cause= of engine failure with low time composite aircraft is debris in the fuel s= ystem. I carefully wiped down my fuel tanks with a tack rag prior to = closing and taped 4 ply breather patches over the vents with tape over the fuel caps. After paint, I sloshed = and drained the tanks several times. With 400+ hours, I too still= catch the occasional bits of glass/micro fuzz from the construction proces= s in the Andair Gascolator.

The best insurance against a engine fire is the b= est fuel hose/fitting you can buy. This is supposed to be it. http://= www.aircraftspruce.com/catalog/appages/ae466.php
