I bought some aeroquip 303 hose today for my 601 912 install to do the oil 

and fuel lines.  It does not compress at all so hose clamps will not hold it 

properly.



Do I need to put fittings onto the hose ends?  How will fittings attach to 

the barbs on my bing carbs and to the engine?  Do I need to buy lighter duty 

hose that will compress?  I just hate to use the cheap heater hose that zac 

supplies for the oil hose.  I hope that I didn't just waste over a hundres 

bucks on the 303 hose.



Thanks in advance for the advice

Frank,

You've bought a hose that needs to use special screw-on fittings.  The 

hose will be a superior product than most others if

you go ahead and buy the fittings for it.  They're not inexpensive, but 

durable and tough to a fault.  I used similar for my

fuel and brake lines where there is motion. Glad I did!  The fittings 

are #491 and guidance on fitting them is in the Aircraft

Spruce Catalog if you can't find it elsewhere.  For the Bings, I used 

hose clamps and barbs to secure the hose.
