Carburetor fuel line

Post by KillerB »

I need to replace the fuel line from the fuel strainer to the carburetor on my '52 170B, O-300, does anybody have a p/n and source for a pre- made assembly that they could pass along? Thanks

There are many fine companies which will make that hose for you (and encase it in firesleeve, which is much better than the Cessna part no.)
Measure yours (from fitting to fitting faces) and call Aircraft Spruce. 877-477-7823

Is it required to be in a fire sleeve?
It's a very good idea, yes. but required?
