Hi group. I'm embarking on a builder mod for my fuel system and wanted to run it by the group for opinions. The reasons are to locate the floscan transducer on the cabin side of the firewall and to filter my fuel out of the tanks before it gets to the facet pump or floscan.
I'm using the fuel filter that airflow performance includes in the F.I. pump package for RV's for my carb engine. However, my filter will have a 74 micron screen which is a bit tighter than the 125 of airflow performance. The routing will be:
Fuel selector - inline flow ezy filter - Facet pump (relocated off the firewall back by the selector - much like F.I. installations) - 12" straight tube - Floscan transducer (located on floor of center tunnel area ) - Tube run to gascolator - engine. All tube runs at the selector, filter and pump will be large radius bends and not 90 degree fittings to avoid cavitation (similar to F.I. installation). I plan to build a little dog house over the pump as in the F.I. installs.
I searched the archives and found posts from the 2000 - 2001 time frame concerning this but not much since.
For newer members the archives are a must read! http://www.matronics.com/search/
Thanks,
Jeff
