Does anyone recall which skin is supposed to be on top? I believe the main skin is on top, but the picture in the manual appears to show the rib tip skin on top.

After the past 10 months of investigation and discussions and general head scratching I finally have come to a conclusion. Executive summary: Don=99t mount the fuel flow sender in the tunnel per the plans! It has too much pressure drop and gets too warm in this location, this can lead to vapor lock. The onset seen as deviations in fuel pressure and fuel flow.

The charts and actual data are great to see. I don't doubt typos have fixed your problem, but I wonder if this is coincidental to the tunnel issue. Perhaps you can help me understand the following questions? 1) if moving the red cube out of the tunnel (amoung other things) resulted in no more problems, is your hyphothesis that the cube is heating up and causing vapor lock? 2) all of the other people that have posted about red cube issues in the tunnel have said the reporting of fuel consumption is high when the pump is on, but no one else has indicate the say pressure drop and flow increase relating to a cube in the tunnel. 3) is it possible insulating the lines and even the cube in the tunnel would do just as good of a job? Is any where mounted to the engine or the firewall hotsidemreally going to be cooler than the tunnel? 4) if the red cube heating in the tunnel caused the vapor lock, wouldnt that still occur when it was on the engine and exposed to heat there? 5) it sounds like several things wee changed at once and undoubtedly fixed your problem. How sure of you it was the red cube and not say a bend in a line, the routing or one of the other variables that were changed. I've gone back and forth on moving the red cube during my build. Most of the data and issues so far with the tunnel have been reporting issues, not performance related. If the cube IS causing vapor lock (or almost) and LOP is affected, then that is a great reason to move it. I just wonder if we have enough info yet to say that. Just my initial thoughts and perhaps you are onto something here.
