Fuel hoses
Catégorie: Engine : Firewall forward

For the engine to turn it needs air, fuel and electricity.
Today I begin by tackling the fuel part, at least waht's forward of the firewall.
This is the hose between the gascolator and the mechanical engine driven fuel pump. The hose seems slightly long but the one supplied by Vans was too short and onl 1" shorter.



This is the other side of the mechanical pump. At the outlet I installed a T fitting on which there is a retrictor fitting an a hose where the fuel pressure will be measured. The hose I'm holding will get connected (via an elbow fitting) to the T, the other end of the hose will get connected to the throttle body.
In the background, the copper fitting is for the fuel pump overflow.



This is the throttle body with the hose coming from the mechanical fuel pump.



This is the back of the throttle body with the hose sending the metered fuel flow to the divider. I will replace the elbow fitting with a straight fitting.



And this is the divider on top of the engine.



And this is the end of the fuel pump overflow hose. I still have to attach it correctly.



The installation is only provisional, but took quite some time as ther are a lot of interferences, space is scarce and some parts still have to be bought.
