Fuel Flow Install Question
in 912 / 914 Technical Questions
6 years ago
New owner of a Magni M-16 with a 912 here. I would like to install a fuel flow gauge with an EI “red cube” transducer. These have 1/4” NPT female fittings.
The gyro has Gates 7mm 3225 series fuel lines (apparently a European option). That’s closest to 9/32” dia, I believe.
I’ve seen AN840-5D fitting at auto race supply sites, typically. Will those work? They have a 5/16” barbed end. I saw in other posts here that barbed is really not ideal for fuel lines.
It seems unlikely I’m the first to install one of these on a 912 so any suggested solutions are greatly appreciated.
