You are correct. Vans does not supply the fuel line from the fuel servo
to the flow divider(spider). It may or may not be supplied with the
engine, depending on whether you get a new engine from Van's or rebuilt
elsewhere. If you plan on putting the red cube where Geoff did, you
would have to replace that hose with two new ones anyway. I don't have
those dimensions as I also need to make or procure that hose. It costs a
bit more, but I think I will go with integral firesleeve hose there,
which cannot be field fabricated.

I don’t have the engine nearby, so I can’t confirm what I am going to ask.
You installed the “red cube” in the fuel line between the throttle
body and the fuel spider, right? Is that fuel line included with the
engine?
I’m asking because it seems that fuel line is not included in the FF
kit from Van’s.
Do you happen to have the specifications (diameter, lenght and
fittings) of those 2 fuel lines to which the red cube is attached to?

Thanks, that helps.
Regarding the 90 degree fitting; the 90degree fitting shown on your
old hose is the "full flow" type according to Don(at)Airflow, and that's
okay. The fitting you want to avoid is the 90 degree fitting where
there is no curve. That type of fitting will impede the free flow of
fuel. (I'm just repeating what Don told our class a few weeks ago).

I went through the same thing after talking to Don (at) Airflow, I
have the Floscan and "mounted " it (at) the front corner of the

I used a mounting bracket fabbed out of alu similar to:

I ordered 2 new hoses to replace this:

The hose the connects the servo and the flow scan has a right
angle fitting where it connects to the floscan. There is a caution
some where about avoiding that, but the configuration works
flawlessly with no fluctuations.

Thanks!
It looks like the transducer is 'unmounted' in this case and
just supported by the fuel hoses. I'm thinking of doing the
same. Anyone with experience using a fuel hose supported Flowscan?

Bill,
Mark Cooper's blog has some pics and a description of his
mounting in the
similar location.
