Anthony, It would be interested to know whether you usually fill the
fuel system (and if so ? up to the top) before you put the plane away or
whether you fill up just before you go flying. That is will that pipe

by two engineers including my inspector and found to be in very good condition
inside/out.Fuel used over the years was BP premium unleaded .Pending a suitable

silicone fuel approved hose. I have the Xs extended baggage bay short
hose version.
