Hi all:
So, I've read the thousands
of posts regarding the placement of the fuel flow transducer supplied in the Dynon kit. I came up with before the mechanical pump...no after...no, on the engine...no, in line....ARRGHHH! Then I read a bit about placement of a fuel filter and I came up with after the electric fuel pump....no, before....no, at each tanks output. My head started to hurt!
So, I'm going to start with the basics. If I elect to mess with the fuel lines in the cockpit which have been in place for a very long time (read here that I'd rather not mess with them), what fuel filter do I use upstream of the electric pump? If I decide to put it on the engine side of the firewall, which do I use? I've see on Aircraft Spruce simple $4 inline glass filters much like I have in my VW Thing. I also know there are $200 filters too. With all our nice fuel lines running both in the cockpit and in the engine compartment, do we really want to revert to a simple glass filter with a clamp and a rubber hose at each end? How would you plumb that anyway?
I have a very basic set up. I have the Van's electric fuel pump and a carburator...that's it.
