    Subject: Fuel line Questions
    Hi Peter, Do you remember where you got this manifold from? I want to do the same but have not been able to locate. IS this from Van=92s? Steve From: owner-zenith-list-server@matronics.com [mailto:owner-zenith-list-server@matronics.com] On Behalf Of Peter W Johnson Sent: Monday, October 01, 2012 11:55 PM Subject: RE: Zenith-List: Fuel line Questions Steve, http://zodiac.cpc-world.com/images/IMG_1297_JPG.jpg is the only one I have at the moment. The black covered sender (to the right) on the (Vans RV) manifold is the fuel pressure sender. It is plumbed directly into the output of the pumps via a tee AN fitting (behind the engine mount!). The other sender with the flexible hose is the oil pressure sender. Hope that helps.

Can you send a clearer picture of how you have your fuel pressure sender teed in to your system? Steve From: owner-zenith-list-server@matronics.com [mailto:owner-zenith-list-server@matronics.com] On Behalf Of Peter W Johnson Sent: Monday, October 01, 2012 2:16 AM Subject: RE: Zenith-List: Fuel line Questions Steve, Check out http://zodiac.cpc-world.com/images/IMG_1284_JPG.jpg and http://zodiac.cpc-world.com/images/IMG_1304_JPG.jpg . I have an O-200 fitted and replaced all the Zenith fuel lines with aluminium tubing and AN fittings. The only flexible hose is from the pumps to the Carb. You can check out Aircraft Spruce=92s site for AN fittings (http://www.aircraftspruce.com/menus/ha/an.html). I purchased fuel pumps have the correct fittings for AN connectors rather than barb fittings. I could draw you up a plan with the fittings used if you give me a day or so.

I am hoping you guys can help. I am trying to use the nice aluminum AN connectors. One issue is the size that seems appropriate screws all the way and never really tightens until it gets to the very last thread. If you look at the pump where this connector goes it looks like it is machined to take some type of O ring or rubber grommet/gasket. Also, the fitting for the hose would seem to =93naturally=94 be for a ID of 3/8. Everything else in the ZAC world is for =BC=94 ID on the fuel hose and parts they supply. It seems to me I will need some type of step or step down to mate from the firewall connector to the fuel pump. Unless there is a AN connector that will fit in to the fuel pump that has a 1/5 in hose barb. Does anyone (especially anyone flying behind an 0235) have any pictures of how their fuel lines connect to the fuel pump? Or do you have any suggestions for the proper AN parts? I am having a lot of fun but it seems like I keep running into road blocks and gotchas!

    Steve, Yes it is from Vans. I ordered it directly from their web site.
