| Subject: | Re: Advice on red cube install |
Even though I don't have the AFP fuel system, I had the folks at AFP do
the hoses.
I went to their weekend fuel injection class just to get gain some
knowledge about fuel injection systems in general. Great people there.
I came away convinced to move my GRT (red cube equivalent) fuel meter
from the tunnel to where you are putting yours. It did make my fuel
consumption numbers it dead nuts accurate.
Months after the class I gave them measurements and such and they
provided 2 custom teflon hoses, with firesleeve, a needed AN fitting and
1 foot of firesleeve to wrap the (red cube) with. It cost $191.46 plus
shipping.
They will provide any consultation desired. As I recall there is a AN
fitting 'clocking' consideration with their fuel controllers so if you
need to change the direction of the fitting coming out of their unit,
you may want to chat with them.

Dave and Kelly, thanks for the point out. I've been searching for that cap
for quite some time too. Someone told me it was in ACS, but I couldn't
find it.

Thanks guys, called Tom at TS Flightlines and he will add fittings to existing
hose, just sent it to him. One other thing--do I need to get a short section
of 2" fire sleeve for the cube?

I don't think it's critical depending on how you have the unit mounted.
I was just mimicking an install that I had seen pictured.
I managed to use only one Adel clamp on the upstream hose. That
combined with the hose and padded (red cube) gave me a secure mount and
some vibration/heat protection. My unit is actually mounted on the
front of the engine block. But I have an entirely different set of
components than you are using. Same idea though.

When I was at that stage I called the red cube's company.
They said.
1. The closer to the spider the better.
2. Straight connectors in and out.
3. Preferred no hard direct connection to the engine for vibration.
4. Preferred slight tip up of the exit to the entrance.
They also said that they were quite against the Van's tunnel recommendation.
I mounted mine at the front of the case on a piece of bent steel with a bit of
spring to it and have had zero issues with it.

I made all my own lines, they are actually quite easy.... Aircraft spruce sells
all the components.
Just a thought...
