Expensive Thomas, All fuel lines are 3/8". I initially planned for 1/2" through the Andair using the 20-25 duplex valve. Got talked out of it. The RV10 kits for the 260hp Lyc are using 3/8 lines. The 20-25 value supports 1/2 NPT / AN8 connections for the suction side. 3/8 for the return. The 20-20 valve is 3/8 both directions with AN6. Each pump has it's on filter not each tank. Some of the short sections of fuel line between the filters and pumps may change to fittings depending on room and area required for servicing the filters and pumps. I am also not ruling out some flex hoses on the low pressure side. Need to get my Andair. I ordered it three months ago. Every week they tell me it is ready to ship :( still not joy!
