Posted: Fri Aug 14, 2009 8:47 am Post subject: VA-189 fuel servo inlet hose fitting question

Those who participated in the non-Van hose "group buy" a while back may want to take note...



Can someone tell me if the stock Vans VA-189 hose shown on FF4-3 comes with an integrated 90 degree fitting? 



My non-Vans hose is straight through and would require an extra fitting to connect properly. It may be possible to find a hose with an integrated fitting (preferred), but if not you'd have to figure out what type and where to get the proper fitting. 



Thanks in advance for any replies,

Jay

Yes, this was mentioned on this page.

 I had excluded this hose on my hose order since Mattituck includes this hose but also with the straight fitting.

 I was able to get a 90 degree AN-AN fitting from AN Plumbing.com.  See below.

I called Mattituck this morning and after some back and forth, they said maybe they'd trade my unused straight hose that came with the Silverhawk system purchase FROM them to one that had an integrated 90 fitting. 



Several phone calls later, they said too bad you didn't buy an engine from us, else we'd trade your hose out for another. However, we'd be more than happy to sell you a brand new hose for $290. How generous of them... No thanks.



Thanks for the link in the previous reply. Here's another Aeroquip fitting from Summit Racing. It's aluminum, not steel however. Don't know which would be better for the inlet side of the injector servo. Any opinions?

P.S. I have an extra VA-189 straight hose from Precision with fire proof jacket. If interested, contact me offline.

I spoke to Mahion at Mattituck this morning. Finally, someone who knows their stuff and doesn't speak with forked tongue.



The proper 90 degree "swivel" fitting, with proper 37 degree aircraft flare, is available here (a bargain at $5):



http://www.aircraftspruce.com/catalog/eppages/aeroquipfitting.php



The 90 degree aluminum fitting from Summit Racing referenced in a previous post would probably work too (most racing stuff uses aircraft flares). Using plumbing fittings was not recommended as the flare is likely not 37 degrees.



Side note: The injector servo requires swapping the stock location of fuel inlet and plug. This can be seen on page FF3-1. The inlet straight out fitting is shown in the proper location just above the mixture. In addition to swapping the plug/inlet, there's a screen and spring inside the servo body that has to be swapped too. The spring side faces the plug. Not a big deal, just good to know it's been done correctly.



Side note: make sure there's a letter "G" stamped on the servo plug shown just above the mixture arm. That means that the servo is compliant with the gasket replacement AD.



Cheers,

Jay

An Plumbing, as the name implies, sells primarily aircraft (AN-37 degree) fittings.  Looks about the same price as Spruce but Spruce is probably more convienent for most.

  

 Regarding the "G" on the fuel survo.  If your servo serial number is NOT on the SB list, you will NOT have or need a "G" stamp as only units on the serial number list are subject to the SB.  My Silberhawk unit was not on the serial number listing.
