FYI - Be sure you use hose made for aviation. Static electricity can build quickly in insulated hoses and will perforate the hose and make it weep. Right over the exhaust system. Aviation hose has a conductivity requirement for this reason.

A 3/8" id hose can build as much as 30,000 volts in a few inches.

IF you are going to use teflon, definately use a conductive liner. Most industrial shops that make teflon hoses use a non-conductive liner (white). Be advised!

The shop I use sells Parker hoses and fittings, some of which are aerospace products. I'll double check to be sure they have the correct hose for the fuel line. Thanks for the heads up. It's a pretty cool place to go into....kinda a candy store for hoses and fittings. You can find just about anything there.

Yep they do have some neat things. Tell them you want 919B hose and you'll be just fine----they may or may not have 124. Steel hose ends are perfectly acceptable for our applications. Oh----and be sure to firesleeve the hose!
