|
I'm trying to finalize my fuel system plumbing and was wondering what you
guys have found to be the best size of fuel line from the header tank to the
firewall? ? I'm installing a STRATUS EA-81 in my AVID Speedwing. I'm
thinking 1/4" will do as most of the fittings at the wing tanks and the
header tank are 1/8" NPT. 1/8" NPT fittings only have a 3/16" ID. Thanks.

Hi, Andy,
I have thought about this a lot over the years. I have several friends who
have 1/4" lines throughout, however, I have decided that for my next project
it will be 5/16 from the header because it feeds from both 1/4" lines from
the wing tanks and from the header tankto the firewall, it is not strictly a
downhill run. I like the idea of less internal resistance where gravity is
no longer much of a help.

I tend to agree with what Lowell stated. On mine it's 5/16 all the way to the engine driven fuel pump. 1/4" on the pressure/carb side.
