fuel tubing size

Postby extra300s » Thu Apr 22, 2010 8:31 am

Hi guys

Going to CTrubbers just now and would like to buy fuel tubing as well as the vent line from tank and between carbs (the hard see through pipe)
Any idea what the two diameters are? Forgot my samples at home.

Thanks

Normally internal diameter of 6mm. I use high pressure fuel injection hose available from any Midas. You don't need the see through line

Thanks Morph

Any idea what the vent line on carbs are. Think they are 3mm - about halve the main lines. The ones that needs slots cut in them in oorder for the carbs to function.

Not sure, and yes you have to have the slots cut in them

Rubber and Mouldings will definitely have this tubing,

Hi ya Mike

Not yet. But almost! Busy with a trike again. Going to be in my garage for a couple of weeks still. Ready for the nice winter flying.

Cheers
