Soule" Subject: RV8-List: Banjo fitting for Marvel Carburetor --> RV8-List message posted by: "Stephen J. Soule" I sent this message to the RV list, but did not see it displayed, so here goes again. I would like to know if anyone has used a banjo fitting for attaching the fuel line from the engine driven pump to the Marvel carburetor. With the heat muff on the exhaust pipe there isn't much room for a 90 degree AN fitting at that location. I see that Aeroquip has a banjo fitting that looks like it would work, but I would like to know if anyone has experience in the real world with such a hookup.

Soule" Subject: RE: RV8-List: Banjo fitting for Marvel Carburetor --> RV8-List message posted by: "Stephen J. Soule" Cy, The fitting has to screw into the 1/4 pipe thread in the body of the carburetor and accept a 3/8 inside diameter flexible hose. The AN816-6D in the body of the carburetor does not provide sufficient clearance, even when using a MS27224-6 type 90 degree flared fitting on the endof the flexible hose. I tried a MS20822-6D in the carburetor with a straight fitting on the end of the flexible hose, but the MS20822-6D would not "clock" properly when tight, that is, would not point toward the engine driven fuel pump without being too loose and leaking around the pipe threads. I used banjo fittings on the Solex carburetors on an old sports car in the 1970's where clearance was an issue and never had trouble, although it was a mystery to me why they never came loose.

I have seen units that look like a hobbs meter that you can turn the numbers with a thumb wheel. Does anyone know of a source for these or a unit with similar capabilities.

Have you tried Loctite PST on the threads? You might be able to clock the fitting and the PST will set up and seal. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Stephen J.
