Fuel Lines and Temperature Probe

Took care of a few misc. items.  Along the right side, we secured the fuel line with Adel clamps, and also made a small angle clamp to secure it to the back corner of the fuel pump housing.

A temperature sensor was installed by adding a small spacer for a longer (34mm) M5 bolt that attaches through the fuel rail cover.  This puts the sensor near the engine air inlet as recommended.

A differential fuel pressure sensor was installed on the firewall.  A short 4AN fuel hose is attached on one side, and a 3AN hose (for air pressure) attaches to the other side.  The other end of the 3AN hose attaches to the airbox. 

We added a fitting to the airbox for the other end of the 3AN hose for the differential pressure sensor.  This included an M6 standoff with a 14mm long stud (purchased from McMaster-Carr), and then an M6 to 3AN fitting.  Some additional work was also done secure fuel and air lines forward of the firewall.  Hours: 12
