    Depends on which hoses? Oil, coolant or fuel.

    You may get some differing opinions here because people come from different places.

    There is NO US equivalent for the 17mm coolant hose on top of the engine and under both sides of the engine. So a Rotax service center for that because only one company makes that hose. Don't try and make some US hose fit.
    The 25mm (1") coolant hose. Use either Dayco or Gates Green Stripe.
    The 13mm (1/2") oil hose. Different hose brands sold by different Rotax service centers. CPS uses Parker high temp / high pressure hose. It is blue in color. I have seen Aero Quip and other oil hose that I have no idea what it is.
    In the US we have 5/16" and 1/4" fuel hose. Metric overseas. I use Gates Barricade fuel hose for carb 912's. I don't use fuel injection hose because it has no give and when pushing it over many of the barbed fittings it will shear the inner liner of the hose. I use what people call carburetor or vapor recovery fuel hose. It is rated for 50 psi which is more than enough for pressure and has some liner give and then there is no damage to the inner liner. I have been using this hose for 15+ years without ever a problem.
