IO-320 fuel pump overflow

WHAT FITTING DO I USE TO SCREW IN TO THE FUEL PUMP OVERFLOW FOR MY I0-320??

Here's one option from Van's parts catalog:

F OVERFLOW PLUG 1/8" FUEL PUMP OVERFLOW $6.75

BTW...you'll probably want to confirm with Van's whether that's really a "PLUG" or if it's the modified plug/tube that they ship with their FWF kits. The one that came with my kit was a modified plug that has a little copper tube brazed to it.

The price being $6.75 suggests to me that it's the modified setup, the one you want. 'Cuz I can't see just a regular plug costing that much!

I buy 1/8" and 1/4" plugs all the time for $.07 and $.12 each, respectively - but they are not aircraft grade - they are only rated for 6000 psi!

I'd say it's very likely that's a special plug, at that price. I'd hope so, anyway...

Here is a picture of the fitting. It is on the left handside of the photo. A plastic tube is fitted over the end.

Thanks for the advice. My FF Kit did not come with one.
