Is anybody using the Andair FS20X7T fuel selector valve (that's the version Van's sells) with fuel injected engine (i.e. with the Airflow Performance high pressure fuel pump that Van's sells)? I can't seem to make the geometry work.
The fuel line to the fuel selector from the right wing tank interferes with the aft fitting on the fuel pump's manifold. I think there's just no way to make the bend in the tubing tight enough as it comes off the fuel selector to avoid this interference. Am I wrong?
I've also looked at rotating the fuel selector's fitting 90 degrees so it's facing aft/outboard instead of down. But then the fuel line will interfere with the side cover panel.
What am I missing? It seems like this installation might only work with the Andair banjo fittings. But I thought this version of the fuel selector and fittings were especially designed for the RV-7 installation. Maybe just not with the high pressure fuel pump?
Anybody who's made this work, I'd love to hear how you did it. Or better yet see some photos. Thanks!
