Just received and installed the Vans recommended fuel line from firewall to fuel pump and have a concern.  First it fits a little tight and seems a little short but maybe clocking the fitting will cure that; 2)  am concerned about the aluminum firewall thru fitting holding up through engine vibration and may change that to steel; 3) if the line is adel clamped to the engine mount will that eliminate concern about vibration to the fitting?

1.   I went with TSflightline for all fuel lines for and aft of the firewall, so I can't speak to the length of Vans cable.



2. I replaced with steel fittings.   Anplumbing.com



3. Shouldn't be an issue.   I don't recall if I secured that line with an adel clamp or not.   Just make sure that the line has some slack if you use an adel clamp.
