Hi,

I intend on installing a sight gauge and would like to request advice on the fitting of the fuel restrictor. I dont appear to have one, so I'd be interested what hole size is considered appropriate, and how I make such a fitting? I appreciate the hole size is fairly critical to its functionality, too large and it wont dampen, & too small and it wont really work. 

We are also after some baby ball socket fuel line valves we have seen on Jabirus and another exotic European kit aircraft. If anyone knows of a source to buy such a valve a couple of us would very much appreciate knowing. Thanks.

Regards

Tony Renshaw

Hi Tony,

I used the same Europa provided FS2 aluminum Fuel restrictor insert as for

the fuel return line. It is well made. It dampens quite well but it is

also sufficiently wide to keep up with me watching the correct filling

when filling gas. It fits well into the blue Bing fuel resistant line,

fastened with a single nylon, but I found the blue line a bit hard to read

in the tunnel.
