I have little doubt at least some of the aluminium would also have been replaced.

Skippydiesel wrote:" not expensive" this is a comparative statement, so to what are you comparing the cost of your tube to? It cant be rubber hose, as aluminium tube & required fittings are many times the cost of rubber.

Aluminum hose fitting $5.80
Hose, 1' $2.95
Not sure what you would use to penetrate the firewall. I couldn't find anything at Aircraft Spruce. So the rubber hose stuff behind the firewall is $8.75 plus maybe $5 for a firewall connector so $13.75 vs $17.07.
I wasn't really making a comparison, but my hard plumbing is less than a tank of gas for my Yamaha.
