There is a company making boots that they seem confident of, everyone that I 

have heard of using them seems satisfied. There is a small webpage here: 

http://www.geocities.com/chinooktips/ROTAX.html



I seem to recall a larger page but the email is direct to that supplier so 

it might be worth a try. IIRC Rotax had at some time in the past said that 

any attempt to modify or reinforce their boot would lead to fuel foaming and 

a lean condition which of course would certainly lead to very bad things.

The JBM rubber boots are far superior to the rotax boots . We just changed out a set of rotax boots that went bad in less than a year . Will only fly with JBM boots from now on . Hope fully will not have to changed them for many years but will look at them several times a year and inspect inside and out.

I inspected my boots several months before I had my engine failure.     Pull 

on them hard and see if you can get them to tear.     If they had some 

KEVLAR in them they would be much better.  If they leak they only cause the 

engine to run rough.   It is when they tear as mine did that you have a 

total power outage.   I would be willing to pay extra for the material in 

them.



Good Luck
