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,
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.
Cheers
Peter

Hi Peter,
Thanks for the great pics and advice. Can you send a clearer picture of
how
you have your fuel pressure sender teed in to your system?

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.
Cheers

Hi List,
I am trying to run fuel lines from firewall to mechanical fuel pump on
my
(new) 0235-N2C engine and I am running in to a couple of challenges. 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

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