Quick question: I need to change the 90 degree fitting coming out of the Silverhawk fuel servo to a straight fitting. Are these standard fittings?

Bob---they are -6 flare (AN) to o'ring fittings.
How's it coming?

What you?re looking for is a fitting for the metered fuel outlet fitting (I believe).
DO NOT use the hydraulic fitting shown in the picture above. While it may work, the hex does not correctly trap the O-ring in the boss. If you cannot find an AN815-4 fitting give me a call and I will send you one. It?s surprising that Precision does not tell you guys what is the proper fittings to use in their servos, especially for the fuel pressure fitting on the servo. We have gotten some of these servos back from customers for repair and the fuel pressure fitting has been run into the inlet screen destroying it. But hey it?s only a $200.00 part to replace!!!!!!!

What is a JIC port tool?
You know, I read some of the conversations some of you have in this thread and elsewhere and I think, "I'm really not smart enough to build one of these."
This question of Bob's is directly connected to the very valuable recent Van's comment on safety and related thread. We all have to get the firewall forward stuff right!
Well, we do offer a Fuel Injection 101 class twice a year. In this 2-day session we cover all the intricacies of fuel injection systems, and their installation. These types of issues are covered in the class. But hey, I guess everyone knows this stuff because we canceled the spring class. No one signed up. Next class is the first weekend in November 4-6.
Any takers???

If you don't know, ASK
.....I see you have chosen a Precision fuel injection system, so you best source of information pertaining to Precision fuel injection systems and their installation is Precision themselves. Here is their phone number. 360-651-8282.

That would free up VAF for more posts about.... ummmm... what?
I checked with Precision Airmotive on the specific part number for their version of an O-ring, which they said could be used in conjunction with an AN815-4 union (straight fitting) on the Silverhawk fuel outlet. That is a Precision part number 951787 whcih they claimed would be available through a Precision distributor.
Anybody found a $hipping friendly source for that o-ring?
Since it's never been used, I just took the O-ring off the fitting that was on there, and put it on the new one. That's OK, right?
