Hi John
I have used clear polyurethane tubing that is impervious to fuel. It is
kind of neat because you can see the level of fuel as you fill.
Do you have an ETD for the mono trailer?

Hi All,
The "fuel smell" is related to the type of fuel, and lines in the
aircraft.
The factory now has available new 8mm, and 6mm flexible fuel line which
I
have yet to detect any smell from. This is close to what is referred to
as
"fuel injection hose" at US auto part stores. It usually sells for
about $4
/ foot.
We have also experimented with a marine grade "red stripe" (not to be
confused with the Jamaican Beer) fuel line for the elbow with success if
that is where your smell is.
The last airplane that I test flew had no detectable fuel smell at all
with
all using the new type flex hose & auto fuel.
Hope that helps!

Hi all,
I know this is an old topic, but I have a faint smell of auto gas in my
Europa. I have replaced the elbow with an aluminum one and tightened
all of
the hose clips to no avail.
I be interested in some best practices in debugging this problem.
Paul
