Hi VAF,
Would the VAF braintrust have a look at my fuel system layout below and let me know what you think?
A few specific questions:
- Is this setup too rigid? There is compliance in the big z-bend tube on the firewall end, but the other tubes are short and straight enough that they are pretty stiff. If I use Van's supplied pipe clamps to lock everything into mounts riveted to the floor, am I locking in stresses due to slight misalignments and flexural stress from vibration?
- If this setup is too rigid, any suggestions on alternate configurations that would be better? The new AFP fuel pump is longer than the old one and my fuel valve is mounted a but more forward, so I'm a bit constrained on space.
- Any other things that could be better?
Thanks for the help!
David
