Thanks for the help. > Mike - OK, I finally had the opportunity to check this yesterday.... I was correct, the system uses -6 line into the fuel servo, then -4 out of the servo. My -6 line out of the engine-driven pump is routed on the left (pilot) side, along the top left side of the oil pan, then across the top of the fuel servo ( as far forward as possible), then loops downward into the fuel servo inlet through a 45 degree fitting. This spaces the fuel line as far away from the exhaust as possible, about 2" at the closest (near the servo inlet) Bill Rumburg >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> LML website: http://www.olsusa.com/Users/Mkaye/maillist.html Builders' Bookstore: http://www.buildersbooks.com/lancair Please send your photos and drawings to marvkaye@olsusa.com. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
