How to change Aircraft Fuel Hoses and Cost

- Fuel is important and its best kept contained. Make sure your hoses are up to snuff. Let me show you how to change your fuel hoses. It's not that hard and very satisfying.

Thanks for watching and see you in the next.
CAUTION - not everybody is allowed to work on their own plane. If you don't know if you are, you're probably not. Be careful.
@@Joey_Avocado It's an experimental homebuild. I can install a pizza oven in there if I feel like it. Also, you'd be surprised how many American rules don't apply to me.
Chill out dude @@Joey_Avocado
@@Joey_Avocado Maybe Joe should stick to making video game videos. pew pew
Would it make you feel better if he hung a big disclaimer card up at the beginning of the video with a picture of a Canadian flag, @@Joey_Avocado ?
@@CompleteWalkaroundyou’d also be concerned at how many *do*. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
I did a similar thing with my certified aircraft. Oh wait, no, I didn't do anything myself and it cost way, way more. Dang it.
Get a mechanic to supervise you and sign off the work and you can do your own work on a certified aircraft as well 👍
@@joshhinman How does the liability tax look like in that scenario?
Good video, nice change from your normal content 👍
Thanks, great video! Hope you make more like this
Thanks very much! I plan to
DO NOT DO YOUR OWN MAINTENANCE.
@@Joey_Avocado Many are able to do so. Calm down
I love the regular videos but this was cool...even though I don't plan on changing hoses in a while....still enjoyed it
Statistics say that 50% of views here ( the Zoomers and Mil ) will not have clue as to the "Wham!" reference. The other 50% of us just laughed our tails off. Keep the great content coming! :-D
@@Joey_Avocado Joe man, calm down. Us home builders can do what we please.
@@Joey_Avocado lighten up Francis, um I mean Karen. :-)
@@Joey_AvocadoI’m gonna fuck your mom.
I can guess why you removed the comments from @Joey_Avocado - you probably even banned him (I did over on my channel a while back)... he is a font of misinformation wrapped in an angry bees nest of misunderstanding. Amazing how many times in one comment section he had to assert his wrong info
I didn't if you can believe that. He removed some of his comments himself. The other commenters were not kind to him. 😀
@@CompleteWalkaround Lolz - Anyway I'm based out of CYOO Oshawa and did the full Dynon instal a while back. If you need a hand, or are interested in another YT'r filming your progress, let me know. It might make for an interesting collab video.
Hey Thanks. That would be very cool. Lets do it. You may not be surprised to learn camera work isn't my jam. I'm at Embrun CPR2
Oh shit, I just realized you are actually _THE GLEN_ from the cooking channel 😂. Wild and so happy to see you here mate!
Nice video. Great information, but oh the privilege of experimental aircraft where you're allowed to make these changes yourself without having to get oversight from an A&P who looks at your work and realizes he didn't get to bill for it, so he bills you for it anyway.
May have drifted a bit there.
Can you do more videos on maintenance! this was really great! Also, what if you just use automotive hoses?
Thanks. No idea about automotive hose.
The problem with automotive hoses is that they have different connectors on the ends. Airplanes use hoses that use the AN(Air Force/Navy) standard, it is relatively easy to make your own hose by attaching the connectors yourself and you can use automotive for that if it is the correct material, Inner diameter, outer diameter, and pressure rating. In addition if it’s getting installed on a certified aircraft you would need to pressure test it to 2X its maximum pressure.
@@isaacmyers1676 ok good to know thank you.
Really enjoyed this video!! I would definitely like some more of these short maintenance videos as you continue to work on the plane!
Theres a reason most people arent into aviation, 1k for just a few fuel lines? No way
I take it you had many places with no listed prices? Well, I guess their motto is "if you're rich enough to own a plane, money is no problem" 😅
Always hate seeing anything that is listed for sale without a price tag.... 2:49
Please more videos like this.
Can you do a video on the viperjet kit?
Aren't those "AN" fittings? (ie, not "NPT"). NPT are tapered threads that seal based on thread interference. AN fittings seal on the cone interface (ie, the threads only provide the compression force, not the sealing mechanism).
Not quite but good point. The flared end that goes in the hose is a JIC fitting technically. The end that goes in the engine or whatever part is the NPT fitting. For some reason I've only ever heard them called npt even though they have two different ends.
I think itswift is right.. they are AN fittings, 37 degree flare fittings. Yes the part that screws into the engine is NPT. Locally, the hose shops call 37 degree flare fittings “JIC” as opposed to automotive 45 degree fittings. I haven’t heard anybody call AN fittings “NPT”
That’s cool you have a RV-3.. the best plane out there! I have a -4 myself, but that -3 is just a little more fun to fly!
I don't think I understand the clocking angle can you do 5 again?😅
One of the best examples I've seen. There are a number of tasks pilots can perform on experimental and certified aircraft.
@@Joey_Avocado exactly, it would be good to have those tasks broken down to such an entertaining level.
As an A&P mechanic and Garmin Dealer it could be fun to collaborate on tasks that pilots can do but lack the confidence... Navdatabase updates seem to be the thing I get called for the most.
@@ike621 In Canada any E-HB owner can do any of their own maintenance. Like the E-HB and Owner shown in this video.
That thumbnail was epic hahah
Thanks!
Great video as always my dude!
uch... the schmutz! It's always great to de-schmutz things!
As a german (and pilot to be) I second this statement!
You even got the spelling right - I'll allow the lowercase 1st letter - which means the Messerschmitts(yes, plural) shall remain hangared - for now.
This video's thumbnail is powerful.
Those look like flared fittings not NPT but maybe its just the drawings.
It's called an adapter and is called AN->NPT.
What sort of flight experience did you have until you moved into RV’s, and what plane did you transition out of into the -3?
Slowish tricycle gear. Had to really dive in head first getting started in this thing.
Thanks for this video!
i preferred when your titles didnt scream at me but this was a fun watch regardless
Agreed. I'm changing it
What airplane do you own, is it experimental?
Vans RV3. It is
Mmmmmm...maintenance.
Hey thanks Matt! Gotta keep the lightning sausages repaired ⚡
How did he get a plane 😭
Lucky
Step 1: get cow
Step 2: find maniac exchanging magic beans for cow (took a whole afternoon of online searches to find a legit trade)
Step 3: exchange cow for beans and plant them
Step 4: grow a money tree
Step 5: trade money tree for airplane
At least that's the version of the story I was told
@@Vorath81 shit I forgot about that method.
