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.

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.

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.

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. -------- Myron Nelson Mesa, AZ Flew May 10 2014 Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=431917#431917 ________________________________ Message 6 _____________________________________ Time: 03:23:47 PM PST US From: Michael Kraus Subject: Re: RV10-List: Advice on red cube install I made all my own lines, they are actually quite easy....
