Question MAP firewall bulkhead fitting?

What is the standard fitting for going from -4 hose, through the firewall, and connecting to the plastic tubing that goes to my EIS?

Use a -4 bulkhead fitting and then FLAIR the plastic tubing just like the alum. tubing.

Steve,

I don't know what size tubing your EIS requires but for $5 and postage, I'd be willing to sell you my spare VA-170 that Van's includes with the IE VMP INSTALL KIT. It accepts 094X.156 PVC tubing. I don't know why the number is not found on Van's website but the modified fitting is called a VA-170 Restrictor Adapter.
