Hi all,
I am doing the final fuel systems connections on my IO360M1B. I just wanted to verify how the o-ring fittings to the fuel pump work. As I understand it, they are screwed in, more or less finger tight, and positioned for the correct alignment for the hose. Then the outer nut is tightened down which compresses the o-ring and provides the seal. Then the torque setting for the nut would be whatever the table gives for that size nut? I think it is about 5/16ths, which would translate to around 80 inch pounds.
Do I have this right?
Thanks,
Michael Wynn
