| Subject: | Fuel Line Routing |
--> RV8-List message posted by: "Doug Ripley" <dougr@hurricanefilter.com>
Hello all,
I have a IO-360 M1B on my -8. There is a fuel line that runs from the injector
servo to the spider on top of the engine. This line was originally routed on
the left side of the engine, back through and above the intake air tubes, and
up the rear to the spider. The hardware that Van's supplies for the throttle
includes a reverser that attaches to the case, and it interferes with this fuel
line. I want to run it on the right side, but it's too short to take all the
way to the back of the engine, but it's perfect if I can run it up between
two of the cylinders.
Will I have a problem with vapor lock if it is between the cylinders? If this
won't work, I'll have to get a longer hose.
Thanks in advance.
Doug Ripley

Doug,
My engine was set up with that routing when I purchased it, and I don't
think it should be a problem, because of the relatively cooler
temperatures at the base of the cylinders. I would certainly recommend
the use of fire sleeve on the line though for the insulation value. On
the other hand, I haven't flown yet so this is all conjecture on my
part.

Doug,
I have seen many certified installations with the servo-flow-divider fuel
line routed through the engine baffling, between the cylinders. Pitts S1S,
S1T, Piper Arrow, etc. This isn't a problem. Just make sure to use
fire-sleeve.
