My Bendix fuel injection system on my IO360 has a -4 size fitting at the fuel inlet. I have 3/8-inch lines running all the way to the engine-driven fuel pump. Do I use a 1/4-inch line from the pump to the inlet, or should the line be 3/8 with some kind of reducer at the inlet? 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)
