with two rigidly mounted connections, the fuel rails and the regulator, why
not use a rigid line which must be cheaper? on my Lycoming I have a braided
lines between the firewall and the engine (fuel supply and oil
cooler-firewall mounted) and rigid lines everywhere else, fuel pump to carb
too, simply because I didn't know to do it any differently. it has 1000+
hrs on it. (I'm not questioning your choice, just wanting to learn why)

the return. somewhere I need to insert a fuel pressure regulator, since I
sawed off the one I had thinking it was something else (duh). will it
need
to be in the engine compartment? < < <
The fuel pressure regulator on the Eagle is located at the far end of the
rails. Fuel comes out of the firewall through a single -6 hose and tees
to
the rails... at the other end of the rails there are another pair of -6
lines
that hook up to each side of the regulator (photo attached). The -4
return
line comes out of the bottom of the regulator and goes back to the
selected
tank through the (fairly expensive) fuel selector valve.
