Default Fuel Pump Fittings

Hi all,
I am trying to connect a standard Lycoming fuel pump to a fuel injection servo with a line to a fuel pressure sensor. The ideal fitting would come straight out from the pump with a T for the fuel pressure fitting. The only T-fitting I have been able to find is the one Vans sells. This has a right angle for the fitting to the servo and straight for the fuel pump. Does anyone have a source for the fitting above or should I just figure out how to deal with that configuration?

Any good photos? This is an RV 8 with a TMX IO360M1B with Airflow Injector.

Thanks,

Michael Wynn

Michael---you want a -6 & -4 inline tee, with a -6 o'ring boss fitting for mounting to the pump. Make sure you can screw the fitting in the pump without interfering with anything. The industrail # would be a 6803-06-06-04NWO.

Michael, this tee fitting isnt generally used in aircraft so it might be tough. Weatherhead, nor Parker make it, but some indutrial houses can get it . Try Tom Brink at Gahco-----he may. If not, email me.
