Could someone help me identify what this GAGE connection is?  How should I terminate it?

Is this an overflow?

Thanks!

If you have a fuel flow sensor like the red cube, etc., you can just cap it.  It's used by some installations to display fuel pressure (often converted to fuel flow) in the cockpit.--Dave

I plugged it. Here's a picture of my spider and a diagram from the Silverhawk manual.

Yes, plug it or it will leak fuel. I thought it was a bleeder but it isn't and won't leak anytime fuel pressure is applied. Only I Kept finding fuel stains on the spyder and finally figured it out.

You can find the fitting you need to cap it off at places like Aircraft Spruce.

I think I used a 1/8" NPT plug from something else...they're

available all over the place but something tells me we even

got some extras either with the kit or with something

that I bought for the engine or avionics.

Yes I had the same issue as mentioned. Fuel staining the crankcase because of a small leak from the fitting. There were some spare 1/8 NPT plugs in the Fire Wall forward kit and I used one of those to plug it.
