The Rotax line maintenance manual, section 05-10-00 paragraph 2.1 page 8, says:
The following components and systems must be replaced every 5 years:
... all rubber hoses of the fuel system (incl. Teflon hoses)
Paul,
The last two versions of the line maintenance manual don't have a page 8 in section 05-10-00. I think you have to go pretty far back for the manual to include replacing the Teflon hoses. Also look at SI-912-022 Cancellation of the 5 year change interval for Teflon fuel hoses.
Thanks, Tom. I'll check the edition of my MM, and update as necessary.
BTW, that's the problem with working from a hardcopy manual. OTOH, working from a PDF on a phone, laptop, or tablet has problems of its own.

My office is just a few steps from the shop. I have a 32" TV for a monitor on my computer, and I often enlarge the pages. I will print any pages I need to take to the shop.
