 |
|
After all the encouraging words from this group and the local A&P, I decided to swap the fuel lines on my fox myself. It was a piece of cake for the most part until I got to the main fuel shutoff valve. There are two short lengths of regular fuel line at the valve that appear to be crimped in some way. How do I go about replacing that thing? It looks custom made.

Here's a picture with another angle in case it's unclear what I'm looking at. I gather that the fuel shut off valve has barbed fittings and the builder somehow crimped the fuel line over that. Is there a tool I need to buy to reproduce this? Would it be advisable to just replace this with a hose clamp?

Nothing wrong with good fitting correctly sized hose clamps. Used on French
helicopters for years.

I have the same valve on my Kitfox II. It came
with the kit.
