Re: Fuel hose
Where do you get the Aeroquip, and is it TSO'd? I'm not finding it at Aircraft Spruce.

I can't remember where I got it.

Re: Fuel hose
Any of those search results bring up the hose for sale or information on whether they are TSO'd? I didn't see any, but I could be missing something obvious.

Re: Fuel hose
I just tried some of the superflex sure to kink stuff from Aircraft Spruce... front left side kinked....NOT using that chit! Tried some NAPA stuff... it worked w/o kinking. I have a problem the quality and lack of longevity with just about everything NAPA sells...90%+ comes from China. Tried ordering the MIL-H-6000-6 from Browns Aircraft supply... just received notice they won’t have it in stock for a couple weeks..was beginning to think every vendor was out! Found some at Glacier aircraft parts... after my order they have 24” remaining in stock...

Re: Fuel hose
Call Precision Hose Technology in Tulsa, tell them what you need, and they can probably can make it for you at a reasonable price.
My buddy sent them all his PA28 oil and fuel hoses and they built a new set (I think re-using the fittings where applicable) and he said they did a great job.

Re: Fuel hose
The fuel hose for the fuel tank outlet to fuselage fuel line just slips over a hose nipple with a common hose clamp on each end. Nothing to make but it is very short and a tight fit with an offset so the hose has to be resistant to kinking. A short straight piece of MIL-H-6000 works best as Mark noted.
See post 16 of this thread.

I'm a dork.
Didn't read the earlier part of the post and thought you were looking for the hose from gascolator to carb.
I think I'll blame the cat for distracting me.

Re: Fuel hose
I want to replace my wing root fuel hoses on my 1959 PA-22/20-160, but I'm not sure what to use. I read this thread, but Aircraft Spruce FAQs says that Super-Flex 397 is not authorized for certified aircraft, not sure about MIL-6000, although Steve mentioned it isn't listed for fuel. Not sure about Aeroquip 1525, or if it is now obsolete and being replaced with Aeroquip 2556. I don't know what to use.
How do you figure out what is an acceptable hose that is TSO/PMA compliant?
