Fuel Line setup for A mintor 170

[Dean Pappas]

Hi Michael,
Here's what I have used, in the past: a "T" is soldered up from 5/32" tubing, and hooked up so that the middle of the T goes to the engine, one leg of the top goes to the tank, and the other leg of the top is the filling port. A long 1/8" tube filling wand bypasses the hole to the engine, and even seals against the silicone tubing that leads to the pickup.
Regards,
    Dean P.

Well to let you all know the mintor is running beautiful.  I have about 3/4 of a gallon through it now.  One thing I did was instead of pulling the fuel line off of the pump and filling the tank on the test stand I put in a T and fuel dot.  However when filling I soon found that not only did the tank start filling but the engine was getting flooded.  I have seen where people run the fuel line outside  the airplane off of 2 fittings.  Would this be a better solution?  I know the YS DZ guys have the same problem.  What is everyone else doing besides using a pair of hemostats?    


Thank You
