				| Hi David
 original pipe with 10 years use,  did check it at five years obviously but it seemed fine at the time,
 luckily Frank xuereb down the road from me had some spare original pipe going spare,

				| Ivor,
What fuels have you been using predominantly and do you leave the tanks full (or at least the rubber connector internally submerged) between flights?
 Rgds.,

				| Hi Duncan
I have always tried to minimise Avgas use but some times that all you can
 get, so Mainly UL91 with some Super unleaded as a last resort,
 Yes i do try to leave the fuel tank full but not normally up the cobra,
 
 The amount of Rubber exposed to any fuel is quite small, after the cobra i have a aluminium pipe so the two pieces you see just connect the pipe to the tank and cobra,
 outside condition of the rubber is good,

				| Ivor,
Will you be replacing with Viton lined stuff? The only affordable Viton (at that diameter) seems to be fluorosilicone lined silicone hose, which is not rated for permanent (internal) immersion, but is advertised to be OK for temporary immersion and full time contact with vapours. Softer too, which may make getting a gas-tight seal a bit easier.

				| Hi Duncan
 as previously said i managed to get a piece of the original hose from
 Frank Xuereb that will work fine until the next flying season when hopefully
 a more permanent solution is found,
 IMO if a hose designed for fuel cannot be immersed in fuel then it’s not fit
 for purpose,
 my last hose lasted at least 5 years before starting to degrade so an original hose should be fine until a proper replacement is found,

				| Dear David,
 For your information my fuel filler hose dated 2001 was inspected independently 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 replacement  the hose will be refitted. It should be possible to find a replacement silicone fuel approved hose. I have the Xs extended baggage  bay short hose version.

				| 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 have spent most of its life in contact with fuel or with fumes? Regards, David Joyce, GXSDJ

				| Thanks, David.
I think I'll replace the hose by a new silicon hose or the original one from Europa for at least another 5 years peace of mind.
 What amazes me is, that there are huge differences in the condition of the hoses although exposed to a similar environment.
 BTW - I guess mine is from 2001 as well.

				| Bud, Sounds great to me but I think Pete Jeffers is the one to answer that - he is our LAA inspector on the committee and very much involved with trying to get a sensible solution approved.

 Rather than those beautiful bent tubes, would the LAA allow such a simple mod that only costs a few bucks to make? The certified welder is the only cost.   I cut the tube on my compound miter saw.
 Curt welds it up in 10 minutes. It takes 5 minutes to trim up the ends to fit.

				| Hi All, I bought a aluminium elbow from Tim         when my wife and I had a tour of New Zealand, I think it was         Febuary 2007. I have only used Ethonal free mogas since my first         flight in Febuary 2009. As you can see from the pic the rubber         connecters are perfect. Does this prove that the problem is the         use of  ethonal moges and maybe avgas !!. I wonder if Tim can         produce more of these elbow.     
Cheers Danny. G.c.e.r.i XS tri

 Dave, a nice solution, but for those who haven't got a tame aluminium welder it might be cheaper to buy a flurosilicone lined angled fuel filler hose from carbuildersolutions.com and use a straight section of alloy tubing to make up the necessary length. Regards, David, G-XSDJ

 Best solution is to use short silicone joints to an aluminium elbow, it's much lighter and the silicone is less problematic regarding erosion etc.
 
 Tim Ward organised a batch of nice elbows but that was years ago.
 
 It wouldn't be difficult to weld one up?

This link has some interesting information on variations in “fluorosilicone” hose.

 I will be looking for the term “profuel”.

Correction (too fast): Silflex manufactures Samco hose. Silflex       and Samco both use the term Profuel in their description of the       good stuff. Samco apparently uses "ProFuel" as a brand name.
