EFII fuel routing (firewall penetration)

[rmartingt]

For -7 and -9 builders (and I guess -6 builders, too) who have fitted the full EFII package, where did you run your fuel supply and return lines through the firewall?

Hi Bob, this is how I done mine on my 6A.

Fuel pumps on the floor boards, pressure side going through firewall on right side, return line on the left. There is a cover for the fuel pumps.




90 degree bulkhead fitting, short line to fuel filter, then line up to fuel injector.




Fuel line on left running down to Pressure Regulator mounted on the firewall.




Fuel pressure regulator mounted on the firewall, short solid stainless steel line from regulator to 90 degree bulkhead fitting.




Hope this helps, Terry.

Terry,
Thanks, that does help a lot! If you were doing it over, is there anything you would change? Would you consider moving the penetration points up higher (to reduce the length of fuel line forward of the firewall) or do you think that would cause more problems than it attempts to solve?

Give Tom at TSFlightLines a call. He us just up the road in Ridgeland, SC.

Bob, on my installation I could not go any higher. I have two heater control valves right above the area where the lines go through.

It's also pretty busy on the left side above my fuel pressure regulator, I could not mount it any higher.


I'll second the recommendation for Tom at Flight lines, he did mine and was excellant to deal with.



Cheers, Terry.
