Fuel Line Installation?
in General Tech Discussion
9 years ago
Hi,
I have a rotax engine (503) on a gyrocopter.
While I had the fuel lines replaced in a recent servicing, there is still one section of fuel line that I need to replace that goes into the gas tank. I ordered some new fuel line hose (alcohol resistant) http://www.aircraftspruce.com/catalog/appages/bingfuel.php
My question is, do I just push the fuel line onto the fittings? Or do I use a "heat gun" on the fuel line after I push it onto the fittings? I've read that I should use clamps on all the fuel lines. Is this true,and if so, any recommendations for correct type?
thanks!
Phillip
