Uh - oh, I have installed 3/8" vesatube (which is 1/4" ID) with -6 AN
fittings for the entire fuel system aft of the firewall. You mean I have to
rip it all out? I think I'm gonna be sick. I carefully installed the tank
outlet to fuel selector lines before the module was bonded in. So does that
mean if I am to use versatube it needs to be 1/2" OD?

Craig,
Don't forget that you will also need a return fuel line from the engine back
to the tank. For the 912S, the supply line is 5/16" and the return line is
1/4". If the 914 can also use 1/4" return line, you may not have to remove
what you have already installed. Return flow is greater for the 914 than it
is for the 912S, however, so the return line may also have to be larger.
