I'm trying to finalize my fuel system plumbing and was wondering what you
guys have found to be the best size of fuel line from the header tank to the
firewall? ? I'm installing a STRATUS EA-81 in my AVID Speedwing. I'm
thinking 1/4" will do as most of the fittings at the wing tanks and the
header tank are 1/8" NPT. 1/8" NPT fittings only have a 3/16" ID. Thanks.

As long as you use 1/4" ID line it should be OK. If you are using
aluminum tubing, you should use 3/8" OD which gives about 1/4" ID.
Flexible hose sizes are stated in nominal inside diameter while tubing
sizes are stated in outside diameter. Keep the number of fittings
ahead of the pump to a minimum to minimize restrictions to the flow.
Every fitting will cause a small drop in the fuel pressure when the
fuel is flowing.
