I am about to seal up my first tank so am thinking about the options available to me and the ones I should be thinking about before getting too far along.
Of coarse as a new builder I have many questions Landing/taxi lights, wing tip antennae and fuel tank return line. The most important right now is the fuel tank return line since I am about to close the tank. I am using the capacitance sender.
If I use the IO-320 will I need to use a return line?
It seems there are many different FI systems depending on where you buy the engine. Vans doesn't even show which system is supplied with their engine.
I would imagine I would also need the high pressure electric pump but I assume the electric is only a back-up and the engine drives the normal pump. Giving the ability to run even without power.
What about an air box. Vans shows an air box for a couple of different throttle bodies even though they show these as 0-320 engines I assume they mean IO when they say it fits a Ellison throttle body.
Anything else I should be thinking about during the wing construction.
1. Return line.
2. Antennae
3. Lighting
4. Pitot tube or AOA
Anything else I should be thinking about if I choose FI?
1. Return line.
2. Air box
3. Fuel pump and filter
Thanks in advance for your input.
