 Posted: Sun Feb 26, 2006 8:58 am Post subject: Andair Fuel Valve Installation |
 |
|
I am part way through installing my Andair EFS20f7f fuel valve. I got
the valve with a 6" extension and coupler. I do not think I will need
the coupler. I have updated my web site so you can see where I am at
and what the installation looks like. Here is the link to the details
of the installation so far
<http://lrosen.nerv10.com/Construct/Log/Fuselage/Fuel_lines/index.html>.
The valve mount is made out of .063 sheet and angle. It is connected to
the tunnel about 3 3/8" below the stock valve mount. This gives 2 1/4"
clearance between the new Andair valve mount and the rudder cable.
Hopefully this is enough room to get the scat tube through. The valve
is mounted with the inlets forward (opposite of what the plans call for)
so the right fuel tank feeds the right side of the valve and the left
fuel tank feeds the left side of the valve. Also, a 90 degree fitting
is required in lieu of the 45 degree fitting that the plans use (the
fittings are on order). I tried mounting the valve per the plans and
cross over the fuel lines, put the fittings were too close to the tunnel
and the bends were very difficult to make. This installation seems to
me to be much easier and well clear of any interferences.
Take a look and let me know what you think.
Will the scat tube clear?
Should I install a 90 degree bulk head fitting where the fuel lines
enter the tunnel in lieu of the 90 degree bend?

Larry, I used 90 degree bulkhead fittings where the fuel lines enter the
tunnel. This seemed to make installing the fuel lines easier. I'm not much
good at making good looking lines and this worked better for me.

I would guess that the 90 degree would be fine. I don't know how
much restriction it would give. I was unsure, so I tried to
eliminate any 90's that I could other than the ones going right
into the valve itself. One note....Don't think of things as
being too permanent until you start getting the filter and pump
in place too. That's when it really starts to get convoluted.
It's tough to get the proper height and angle on some of those
tight bends. Looks good so far though.

Here are the pictures of our Andair fuel selector mount; using Tim's
suggestion we left the tractor selector mount in place until our replacement
was fabricated and clecloed in place. Note that we have solved the problem
of removing the forward tunnel cover by splitting the aft end.
