All, There was a question a few days ago concerning the fuel line
requirements for Rotax 912, 912S, and 914 engines. I didn't see any
responses . I'm fitting out my fuel system now for a 914 and have run a 1/4
" ID versatube line from the firewall back to the fuel pumps. Is this
adequate? Or should it be 3/8". Any advice from those who have gone before
much appreciated. Thanks
