Al Downs Posted February 19, 2014 Report Posted February 19, 2014 Does anyone know of a change in the 5 year hose replacement? I heard that it has been cancelled and is now on an as needed basis.
Anticept Posted February 19, 2014 Report Posted February 19, 2014 Only the teflon hoses in some fuel installs are on condition. Rubber hoses still apply.
Znurtdog Posted February 19, 2014 Report Posted February 19, 2014 Do search here for more info. Not everyone believes it is 'required'
Anticept Posted February 19, 2014 Report Posted February 19, 2014 To clarify: required by rotax, but they cannot force you, per a recent FAA interpretation.
Runtoeat Posted February 20, 2014 Report Posted February 20, 2014 Hi Roger. Although I've done one 5 year rubber change, I'm wondering where to purchase for the various rubber parts for my CTSW when the next change comes up. You've been thru this so many times you must have a very detailed and accurate list of parts needed for both CTSW and CTLS. Are you able to give the latest list for all rubber parts required and where the best places are to purchase these? Also, what's the situation on engine mounts now? When I did my rubber change, these were hard to find and costly.
Runtoeat Posted February 20, 2014 Report Posted February 20, 2014 Great! What fuel hose are you now using? We talked about Gates Barricade a while ago. I know that I'll never use the stiff fuel injection hose again. Can you put together a kit for the rubber change next time I need to do this?
FlyingMonkey Posted February 20, 2014 Report Posted February 20, 2014 I was bitten by a frozen shark during the LA riots. Trust me, you don't want that scenario.
Ed Cesnalis Posted February 20, 2014 Report Posted February 20, 2014 .... I haven't used fuel injection hose for years. It's too hard to get on because it has no give and that will definitely scrape off the insides. You said quite emphatically when this happened to me that it was clearly my mechanics fault and not the Gates Barricade FI. You said the problem was over tightening clamps and I said it was clearly scraped or shaved on insertion. You would not agree with my claims that my hoses were scraped. The supplier got a pass [he blamed my mechanic, claimed the hose was correct and refused any refund in spite of the kit being labeled 'as recommended by Roger Lee]. My mechanic gets fired but now you seem to agree that the problem is the hose? I have waited years for you to say this but its to late to recover the huge costs of fixing. Remember you said you had asked to have your name removed multiple times and your name remained on the kit?
Ed Cesnalis Posted February 20, 2014 Report Posted February 20, 2014 So which is it? it has no give and that will definitely scrape off the insides.? or The problem isn't the hose 98% of the time! but I still don't like the 2% Remember you insisted that my mechanic clamped too hard, scraping was something you wouldn't even consider yet my hose ends were clearly scraped clean. I dropped my claim because you insisted this was my fault and it cost me $4k and many months of flying. If your #1 statement is true ( It does confirm my tests and my results ) then the hose shouldn't have been sold as a kit for a CT put together by you. The vendor left your name on it for the next 6 months if he ever took it off. #2 isn't true. I have done numerous tests and the FI will shave off when used on the barbed fittings. I get the same result 100% of the time not 2% and that is with testing the hose from the kit as well as sourcing my own.
