 Posted: Tue Mar 19, 2013 5:10 pm Post subject: Routing Fuel Line To Spider |
 |
|
My engine came with the spider located between cylinders 3 and 5 with
the fuel line access coming up between those cylinders. Most of the
pics I have seen, the spider is situated so the line runs up between 1
and 3 which makes for easier routing.
Does anyone have the line routing up between 3 and 5 and have pics of
how they ran the line from the servo?
Thanks,

Sean,
My came from Lycoming mounted in the same location as yours. The fuel line runs vertically beneath the spider. Since I installed Rod Bowers ram air mod, my servo is not located in the traditional location. I can take pictures this weekend if you need them.

What I'm trying to figure out is after dropping between the cylinders
the line should curve at the sump bolts and run along the sump over the
1 and 3 intakes or drop past the sump bolts and just free hang under the
intakes. I'm placing the red cube mounted similar to others by the
servo. Trying to envision the best route to take as I have to order
that pricey hose and would like to only order one of them.

I just reviewed the photos I have online, but didn't have any that shows what you are looking for.
I have a 90 degree elbow between the sump and fuel servo. The servo is horizontal instead of the traditional vertical orientation. I fabricated a mounting bracket that uses the same studs on the sump as the elbow. I've mounted the fuel flow sensor to that, which is almost directly below the spider. The Lycoming supplied hose that was installed is a little long, but I can make it work. All my other hoses aren't the standard lengths and were custom made by tsflightlines.
Remind me again if I don't follow up with a picture this weekend.
