This is the ticket for replacing fuel lines in early, six cylinder Cessnas. I tape where I’ll be cutting it with a couple layers of tightly wrapped masking tape, then cut it with a fine toothed, bi-metal hacksaw. I then peel off the tape and trim back the outer cotton wrap and steel braiding about 1/8” and it’s ready to be screwed into the fitting: counter-clockwise (lefty-tighty). use plenty of oil on the inner fitting before you thread that inside the hose: clockwise (righty tighty). Use a mandrel! If you’re too broke to buy a new one, watch eBay for a used one, or borrow one.

Item was just as described and hose build up was a snap with the associated fittings.

Great hose. Much easier to assemble than stratoflex. No fire sleeve required. If your old hoses are stiff replace them.

Q: Does this hose have a shelf-life?

Yes, the factory gives an 8 year shelf life on 303 hose.

Q: Can you use regular AN fittings on this Aeroquip 303 hose?

No, Aeroquip 303 hose requires 491 Aeroquip fittings.

Q: If this hose is used for fuel line, and is installed within its shelf life, is its installed service life limited to 8 years before needing replacement?

Eaton recommends you replace the 303 hose after 5 years of service.

Q: Is the Aeroquip 303 hose priced and sold by the foot?

Yes, it is priced and sold by the foot.

Q: Does the Aeroquip 303 hose contain any metal or wire? Is it conductive?

The tech data sheet shows the Aeroquip 303 hose has a carbon steel wire braid reinforcement. It does not give any information regarding how conductive it may be.

Q: Do you still need to use fire sleeve for this Aeroquip 303 hose?

It is up to you if you would like to use a firesleeve on this hose or not. It will all depend on your application if you were to need a firesleeve. If you were to get a fire sleeve for hose 303-4 for example, you will need to get P/N# 05-01843.

It is recommended to use Stratoflex fittings with Stratoflex hose, and Aeroquip fittings with Aeroquip hose. The Aeroquip 303 and Stratoflex 111 are equivalent to each other, and some have used parts interchangeably, but we have no documentation as to how well they will work.
