<?xml:namespace prefix="v" /><?xml:namespace prefix="o" /><![endif]--> A question for the Corvair drivers: My pre-supplied Zenith fuel hose is 1/4" Unfortunately, it won't fit over the 1/4" AN fitting I'm using to go through the fuselage skin. Coming out of the finger screen is a 1/8" barb fitting, which does fit inside 1/4" hose. My idea is to use a 1/4" barb, and then go to 3/8" tubing, and eventually up to 1/4" AN fittings, and aluminum fuel line. Has anybody used 1/8" barb fittings, or any other 1/8" component? Did it adequately feed the Corvair engine? (if it will, I'll save a whole lot of work getting to that fitting.) If it was gravity feed, no way. But, with a pump moving the fuel, it's more of a maybe. Any thoughts, or experience with this setup?

Running AN-6 (3/8" id hose) from the tanks all the way to the carb. With the low wing it has pumps, but they are in series on the engine side of the firewall. No pressurized fuel in the passenger compartment. This is all done per the WW 601 installation manual. It's flight proven and that's good for me.
