From: "bob88" Has anyone with experience mounting the red cube between the servo and spider hanging free inline (no bracket, just suspended in the hose line)? This looks like it will take 45 deg fittings on the cube and it will hang at about a 45 deg uphill flow position. Seems like this is simplest way to go...

I'd be worried about engine vibration on an unsupported hose assembly making the readings inaccurate. Just thinking out loud.

From: David Saylor I initially had mine like you're describing. Accuracy was fine but after a premature failure (400 hrs?) I mounted it to a bracket and it's been good for 1000+. I believe there's a note about orienting the wires upwards, not sure if that means straight up or mainly up. FWIW, EI replaced my cube no questions asked. - D On Friday, June 19, 2015, bob88 wrote: > > > > Has anyone with experience mounting the red cube between the servo and > spider hanging free inline (no bracket, just suspended in the hose line)? > This looks like it will take 45 deg fittings on the cube and it will hang > at about a 45 deg uphill flow position.

From: Rob Kochman The simplest way to go is to mount it in the tunnel, per plans. Perfectly accurate there (at least with my IO-540 w/ a standard FI system). -Rob On Fri, Jun 19, 2015 at 12:00 PM, bob88 wrote: > > Has anyone with experience mounting the red cube between the servo and > spider hanging free inline (no bracket, just suspended in the hose line)? > This looks like it will take 45 deg fittings on the cube and it will hang > at about a 45 deg uphill flow position.

From: Kevin Belue I did that with a Floscan sensor. Put a 45 degree fitting in the fuel servo and wrapped the sensor and fuel line with fire sleeve. Works great. It should stay cooler than if mounted to the engine.

From: Kelly McMullen Remaining cool is not an issue with fuel flow sending units. The negative to mounting in the tunnel is that you are between fuel pumps, and with the boost pump off, the fuel is being sucked under negative pressure to the mechanical pump. The sending units are designed to operate under positive pressure. Best locations are either between mechanical pump and servo or between servo and spider. The former is required by the STC for type certificated aircraft, the latter most common on experimental. The unit is best suspended on a bracket attached to the engine, so that vibrations are in sync with the engine. If you are concerned about heat, mount it under the intake manifold, and cover it with fireshield. On Fri, Jun 19, 2015 at 3:12 PM, Kevin Belue wrote: > > I did that with a Floscan sensor.

When I have reception issues with one, I switch to the other. I'd do it all the same again. -------- Wayne G.
