- Description
Fuel system flexible hoses for Mi-8 and Mi-17 helicopters are used in fuel feed, return and internal transfer circuits where the line must remain fuel-resistant, sealed and stable under vibration and changing pressure. In maintenance work, these hoses are normally selected by part number, hose type, fitting configuration, length, pressure class and the exact fuel system section where the assembly is installed.
On Mi-8 / Mi-17 family helicopters, flexible fuel hoses may be used in main fuel supply lines, return lines, balancing circuits, auxiliary fuel transfer routes and connections between fuel tanks, pumps, filters, valves and engine-related equipment. Some hoses operate close to heated areas, structural elements or vibration-loaded zones, so visual similarity alone is not enough for correct replacement.
This category includes OST-standard fuel hoses, U-series, AMT-series and MT-series flexible hose types, as well as ready-to-install fuel hose assemblies for Mi-8, Mi-17 and related Mi-171 helicopter versions. Depending on the application, the hose may be supplied as a reinforced fuel line, a transfer hose, a return hose or a complete assembly manufactured according to the required part number, drawing, sample or technical specification.
All fuel system flexible hoses in this category are supplied only in factory new condition. Used, repaired, overhauled or serviceable hoses are not offered. For fuel system components, material age, fuel resistance, reinforcement condition, sealing quality and compatibility with aviation fuel are critical for safe operation and future maintenance planning.
For MRO companies, repair plants and fleet operators, replacement of Mi-8 / Mi-17 fuel hoses is usually required during scheduled maintenance, overhaul, fuel system repair, troubleshooting of fuel feed issues or long-term fleet support programs. In many cases, correct selection depends not only on the helicopter model, but also on modification, installed equipment, routing and the exact connection points within the fuel system.
Aviamisto supplies Mi-8 and Mi-17 fuel system flexible hoses, aviation fuel hose assemblies and related helicopter spare parts for operators, MRO organizations, repair facilities and aviation parts suppliers. Some standard positions may be available from UAE or EU stock locations, while less common hose assemblies are produced or sourced upon request after confirmation of the part number, configuration and required documentation. Technical passports, certificates of conformity, batch traceability or origin documents may be provided for selected items when available.
