I'm wondering what might be the best way to run fuel lines through the cabin. The plans don't specify material but Zenith supplies rubber hose with the kit. Would a solid material be better? Rubber should be ok as long as it is changed for new every so often. Aluminum or steel can crack from vibration. Rubber cad dry-rot and is easily cut.

I want an easy way to disconnect the fuel line at the side skin in order to remove the wing. What about fittings? there are many types to choose from. How do I get through the firewall? Does anyone know where I can get a good explanation of all this?

In regards to your question "How do I get through the firewall?:  A comprehensive guide how to do so is contained in JabiruUS's Install manual for the Zenith CH701 FWF for the Jabiru 2200 engine attached below:



 



I would think someone else has the firewall fitting as shown on page 2 of 3.

Chuck,  

I used Aeroquip 666 Hose for fuel lines running through the cockpit on my Zenith 701. It is stainless clad Teflon hose. If I recall, the hose has no shelf life (read you don’t need to replace it for a long time) and the fittings can be opened as often as you wish. The downside is that it’s expensive and its difficult to push-on the hose over normal (cheap) fittings. You can purchase the hose and screw-off fittings specifically designed for this hose at Aircraft Spruce.

John,  

The literature says it unaffected by alcohols. See http://www.aircraftspruce.com/catalog/appages/aq666.php

I ran aluminum fuel tubing attached with Adel clamps, with aeroquip 

braided fuel line at the wing attach.
