Guys

Those of you who installed the fuel flow sensor (aka the "red cube") below the engine, between the throttle body and the fuel distribution "spider", you had to order a small fire sleeved fuel line, right?

Can you please tell me where did you order it, and the specifications (length, diameter and type & size of the fittings) of that extra fuel line?

Thanks
Carlos

You'll need two lines, one from the servo to redcube and the other from the redcube to the spider. The dimensions depend on how and where you are mounting the redcube. Some fuel line makers can chop your original fuel line in two and put two new ends on them. If you already have your fuel line that might be a good option.

I got integral firesleeved hoses from Stratoflex, but I think the ceramic fibers in the red firesleeve keeps the hose a bit cooler than the brown integral silicone.

I have lots of JIC fittings for the braided steel/teflon hose. So, I
cut the kit hose from the mechanical fuel pump to the fuel servo. Bad
move. The teflon liner wasn't the correct size for my fittings so I
made up two hoses and used the firesleeve from the kit hose. I mounted
my FF sender on a plate attached to the lower, fwd engine mount tube
with Adel clamps. I wanted as much straight in/out as I could get.
Different from the vertical hose you want, but the idea is the same.
You can get the braided/teflon hose with 37* fittings at most any
hydraulic shop ..... tell them it's for a race car or airboat .... they
don't like to hear 'airplane'.
