Hi Paul,
I’d recommend you stay clear of any tube or hose that is less than ¼ inch diameter nominal I.D. The UK use 3/8 or more and US
Builders nearly always recommend 3/8 tube with ¼ as minimum. The Corvair is likely to run on smaller diameter tube flow, but if you have any
obstructive debris, icing or other, the small 1/8 inch diameter will shut you down very quickly. I’d recommend you look for something larger.
Respectfully,

A question for the Corvair drivers: My pre-supplied Zenith fuel hose is 1/4" Unfortunately, it won't fit over the 1/4" AN fitting I'm using to go through the fuselage skin. Coming out of the finger screen is a 1/8" barb fitting, which does fit inside 1/4" hose. My idea is to use a 1/4" barb, and then go to 3/8" tubing, and eventually up to 1/4" AN fittings, and aluminum fuel line. Has anybody used 1/8" barb fittings, or any other 1/8" component? Did it adequately feed the Corvair engine? (if it will, I'll save a whole lot of work getting to that fitting.) If it was gravity feed, no way. But, with a pump moving the fuel, it's more of a maybe. Any thoughts, or experience with this setup?
Paul R
