I’m adding a gascolator to my plane and have to make a few fuel lines. The PTFE (Teflon) come in either smooth or convoluted. The convoluted has a much tighter bend radius than the smooth therefore I would like to go with a convoluted. The firewall on the RV3 is narrow.
My question is will the convoluted inner liner create tiny air bubbles affecting the accuracy of of the fuel flow sensor?
Also it seems pretty difficult to find metal AN6 hose fittings. I’ve found a steel straight fitting but no 90 or 45 fittings. All of them are aluminum. I could have the hoses made but to try to get an accurate length can sometimes be difficult especially with way the hose bends, so I rather make them on site.
Thanks
