Default FI Fuel Pump/Filter

Looking at the OP drawing for fuel injection and it looks complex with all the tube bending and routing. What is the simplest fuel pump/filter installation for a IO-360 engine?

Thanks

The pump comes as an assembly with lines as necessary. It's not as complex as it looks.

The new version AFP pump assembly is a simple, in/out plumbing. As is the EFII, and the Andair.

I am glad to hear the AFP pump/filter is "line in, line out". Does the pump/filter kit from Van's include most needed parts to mount in the center section? Will this system work with other than AFP FI systems (not sure what system yet as I will probably use a mid-time engine)?

Thanks

Hi John,
I just bought this kit from Vans and it is pretty complete. You have to make one line to hook up the filter to the pump, but it isn't that hard. My pile of scrap tube isnt that large.

The decision to be made now is between carburetor (low pressure boost pump), constant flow injection (AFP, Precision, Bendix, 25~30 psi boost pump), or pulse width modulated injection (EFii, full time high pressure pump).
