Clear Petrol Proof Hose for Wing Root Sight Tube

Post by Sean McDonald »

Need some clear petrol proof hose for wing root sight tube. 4-5mm inner diameter if possible. Just replaced some about 3 weeks ago with what was described as petrol proof. Now cloudy and brittle.
Have googled extensively but failed to find anything that looks trustworthy....

Have a word with Skydrive, they sell blue urethane and yellow tygon fuel hose, which are 'see through', and will be able to advise which might be suitable for your application. They are the go to people for many microlighters and Rotax users.
