Charlie, were these lines recommended for 1/4" dia SS tube
- the lines from the air performance fuel distribution block to each injector or
from the tanks to the fuel distribution block? Makes a difference.
1/4" dia SS tube would have no problem providing fuel for one injector - but, I
would make certain which lines he is referring to.

Subject: [FlyRotary] Floscan orientation, fuel line
size
OK, 2 questions.
1. For
those using Floscan fuel flow transducers:
Anyone have a floscan 201 sensor that's working ok while
mounted in other than a horizontal position? My most convenient location would
have the fuel path flowing up at a 45 degree angle. In addition, the mounting
can have the wires 'up', but mounting would be a bit more convenient with the
wires pointing horizontally.
2. While researching Q1, I found a note from
the guy who makes Airflow Performance fuel injection systems for Lycs (they run
at around 15-30 psi), recommending 1/4" (AN-4) fuel lines firewall forward to
minimize fuel heating & vapor lock. I've already been tempted to consider
this instead of -6 (saves weight, running lines is easier, etc) because the
injection pumps & automotive systems use small diameter lines, but was
reluctant to go against 'convention'. Has anyone who's flying an injected rotary
used -4 fuel lines to feed the
engine?
Thanks,
Charlie
