Hi Ed,

I think that my 1st attempt at a reply disappeared in a power outage 
here in MS.

I re-checked the post on VAF, & he definitely said -4 pre & post sensor. 
The lines from the dist. spider to injectors on the a/c systems are much 
smaller; probably 1/8-3/16" OD. The actual ID is really small (I had a 
Precision brand system in my possession for a while, during my Lyc detour).

        size="+1"><font face="Arial"><br>
          <br>
          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.<br>
          <br>
          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 &amp; vapor lock.
          I've already been tempted to consider this instead of -6
          (saves weight, running lines is easier, etc) because the
          injection pumps &amp; 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?<br>
