Kelpro999 Posted May 29, 2023 Report Share Posted May 29, 2023 Currently Looking for the hose from carb to firewall for fuel pressure gauge. Mooney spare parts manual specifies Stratoflex 193-xxx… yet reading manufactures applications it’s only for low pressure air and vacuum. Definitely not for fuel. What I have now is using 213-2D fittings with unknown hose that is cracking. Anyone else find a field fab hose that is compatible? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RLCarter Posted May 29, 2023 Report Share Posted May 29, 2023 Mine was Aeroquip 303, both in front of and behind the firewall 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does OK in fuel, just not a long time like 111 hose which doesn’t come in -2 size. I see it’s looking like everything else starts at -3 and up.

cliffy Posted June 5, 2023 Report Share Posted June 5, 2023 I looked up the actual spec sheet when I did mine and it says that it is good for fuel Do look it up yourself though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cliffy Posted June 6, 2023 Report Share Posted June 6, 2023 It was hard to find the original government spec sheet when I did it. I don't have it now. Long time ago (5+ years ago) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it was once approved until it wasn’t However, it doesn’t exactly say it’s not approved, that little tidbit came from Spruce . The max temp limit isn’t really heart warming though Edited June 7, 2023 by Kelpro999 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The max temp limit isn’t really heart warming though I looked up the MIL-DTL-5593E (supersedes MIL-H-5593) specification and found a statement about being for low pressure air and vacuum systems for aircraft; no mention of fuel one way or the other. Qualification testing did include a 7 day submersion test in oil. Looking at chemical compatibility charts does show Buna N to be approved for gasoline. So, there's that.

It’s called for in the parts book so I think I’ll ask Frank if he knows what replaces it or something else I’ve missed. Temperature limitation is another concern Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
