Subject: LycomingEngines-List: Fuel Pump Fittings

Hi all,

I am doing the final fuel systems connections on my IO360M1B.  I just  
wanted to verify how the o-ring fittings to the fuel pump work.  As I  
understand it, they are screwed in, more or less finger tight, and positioned 
for 
the correct alignment for the hose.  Then the outer nut is tightened  down 
which compresses the o-ring and provides the seal.  Then the torque  setting 
for the nut would be whatever the table gives for that size nut?  I  think it 
is about 5/16ths, which would translate to around 80 inch pounds.

Do I have this right?

Thanks,

Michael Wynn
