Greetings,

I'm planning the IO-550 N engine installation in my Legacy and am = not sure=20 what size fuel line hose to use from the gascolator to the mechanical = fuel pump=20 on the engine.

Page 26-26 of the Legacy Assembly Manual shows a "-4" (or = 1/4")=20 fitting coming out of the gascolator. I think 1/4" hose is = too small=20 and that this is probably a mistake in the manual. (I know, it's = hard to=20 believe, but.....)

Page 26-27 shows a "-8" (or 1/2") line connecting the gascolator to = the=20 fuel pump. That is inconsistent with the previous page, = but it makes=20 more sense.

The problem is that the input port on my engine is 1/4" female pipe = thread=20 with a "-6" (or 3/8") male flare fitting attached to it. = Obviously, a "-8"=20 hose won't easily connect to a "-6" fitting.

I'm leaning (no pun intended) towards using a "-6" hose from the = gascolator=20 to the mechanical fuel pump. It will fit the existing fitting on = the fuel=20 pump and a "-6-6" fitting fits the 1/2" female pipe thread outlet = on the=20 gascolator.

I'm curious to know what other Legacy builders have done.

Thanks,

Dennis Johnson
