Classic 914 mono



I was wondering if there is valid discussion surrounding the effects of 

substituting a 90deg fuel fitting for a straight-through one at the 

firewall. We are talking 3/8inch aluminum and -6 fittings here. I have 

installed the latter in order to present a serene curve to the fuel 

downstream of the requisite pumps, but wonder whether replacing it with a 

90deg model for ease of routing would affect the efficiency of the flow or 

have any effect in producing evaporation due resident heat etc - or in fact 

anything at all?

Any comment gratefully received.

Cheers, Ferg

Fear not, the effect will be negligible.  A 90 degree fitting is the

equivalent of less than 2 ft of straight tubing, according to my old Chem E.

textbook which deals with pipe, but since pipe has a rougher surface than

tubing the friction loss will be even less for tubing.
