Thanks Geoff. The idea of taking the existing hose and having it cut and refitted makes sense.

If I remember correctly I took my original line and had them cut it and add the new fittings as need and then
Cut to the new lengths.
There is a place nearby that does all types of custom hoses.

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?
Regards
Carlos

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).

Yes,
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 engine case http://deemsrv10.com/album/Sec%20FF4%20Fuel%20System/slides/DSC04976.html. I used a mounting bracket fabbed out of alu similar to: http://deemsrv10.com/album/Sec%20FF4%20Fuel%20System/slides/DSC04980.html. I ordered 2 new hoses to replace this: http://deemsrv10.com/album/Sec%20FF4%20Fuel%20System/slides/DSC04978.html. 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.
