Richard,

 

The trick appears to be to get the = pump inlet as low as possible, with as few restrictions and bends in the = inlet line. Remember – the pump sucks and there is not much pressure from the = tanks due to the low wing design.

 

You should avoid 90 elbows, as they = are very restrictive. Several people have run =BD inch flexible(?) SS = braided hose to the fuel selector inputs and “hard” line from the selector = out directly forward to the pump inlet. It’s not as critical on the = outlet side of the pump, but avoid restrictions wherever you can. =

a)       = Manual specified location on co-pilot side = fuselage

b)       = Between the exhaust tunnel and the nose wheel tunnel on co-pilot side = floor.

 

I would think it would be quieter, but warmer on the = floor.
