Fuel Hoses
The sequence of the fittings is critical for correct function of the fuel system. The fuel lines and
components are secured using hose clamps.
Figure 27 Fuel Line Check Example
Areas that should be checked with extra care are the interfaces between the hose and the motor.
These areas are stressed to a greater degree than the rest of the tubing and are more likely to have
cracks and or wear. If fuel lines need to be replaced contact Airborne for the correct specifications, and
or replacement components.
Fuel Filter
The first item after the tank is the fuel filter, correct operation and maintenance is extremely important
for reliable operation of the engine. The fuel filter should be removed and checked for debris at regular
intervals. If any debris are present the filter may be flushed using fuel to remove the debris. If there is
any damage to the filter or there are debris lodged in it then it must be replaced to avoid damage to the
engine. If debris are present the rest of the system should be investigated to ascertain their source.
CAUTION
THE FUEL FILTER IS DIRECTIONAL, AND HAS “IN” AND “OUT” MARKED ON IT WHICH IS
VERY IMPORTANT. IF THE FUEL FILTER HAS BEEN INSTALLED INCORRECTLY IT SHOULD
BE CLEANED PRIOR TO REINSTALLATION, OR REPLACED, TO AVOID DEBRIS BEING
FLUSHED INTO THE ENGINE.
