				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,
