| Hi Ferg,
| 16-20 feet sounds about right. I used -8 firesleeve ie 1/2".
| A tip given to me by another builder: it is possible to sheath flexible
| fuel hose with firesleeve too tight to push the hose into by using
| compressed air. Firesleeve needs to be longer than the hose. Clamp off one
| end of the firesleeve. insert compressed air into the hose then put the
| other end into the firesleeve. It will expand the firesleeve enough to
| allow easy fitting. The end result is nice looking line with smooth
fitting
| firesleeve.

Malcolm,
Thanks, that sounds a good idea - would never have thought of
it. Guess total length depends on aircraft type, so will repeat the question
later.
Cheers, Ferg
