I've a question for anyone who has done this. I have a Bendix  Fuel

Injection system installed in my RV-6A, with the servo mounted vertically

where one normally has a carb.  I'm in the process of running the fuel line

from the servo to the distribution spider. I've seen installations that run

this line right in front of the sump, to a hole in the inter-cylinder

baffling and up to the spider. Using Vetterman's cross over pipes, I've

about 7/8" clearance between the pipes and the sump.  Has anyone done this

and could they share pictures of their installation.  Thanks for your help.

Hi Marty,

        I have the AFP fuel injection vertical system.  I ran my line

from the spider down thru the baffle  and then back above the inlet pipes

and then around the sump and down to the controller.  I had to provide a

support where it turns from the rearward direction to the center and

downward direction.  I can do some pix if you want.  I'll attach some

that I already have.  I found that the AFP lines were too long. I had

them provide a 45 deg. fitting and then I cut the line from the fuel pump

to the controller so it had a smooth run to the controller.  The 45 deg.

fitting allowed the line to clear the tri gear mount and go nicely to the

controller.

        The "battery and fuel line cable support" pix shows how I

attached the line as it came down from the spider and ran it rearward.

        The "throttle cable bracket---" pix shows the hose coming from

the spider that was repositioned  via a adel clamp at the back end of the

throttle support bracket. The line now runs along the gold / white

interface of the two brackets thru the adel clamp where it then turns

toward the center and then down to the fuel controller.  

        Maybe this will help.  Lengths of hose partly determine where the

lines will run.  I tried to keep them away from the exhaust system as

much as possible.  I'll probably put heat reflective aluminized tape

around the critical areas where it comes close ....

I ran mine that way and put a heat shield on the exhaust and some extra

vinyl tubing on the fuel line for additional anti-chafe. It's a tight fit

but no problems so far. No pictures handy right now.
