Do you need the solenoid for rules compliance?, I guess not if your running an electronic fuel pump.

Looking good.

Hi Jon,

No, it was mostly a way for me to keep the fuel lines from emptying after the engine has been shut off. As you say I can just as quickly stop the engine by turning off the fuel pump. With the filter placed below the engine I have no need for the solenoid.

Thanks!

Today I bought a handful of AN fittings and continued hooking the oil lines up.



I had to mill a slot in the front engine mount to get enough clearance for the scavenge pump line above the fuel tank.



The left side scavenge pump connected to the engine and oil tank.



The right side scavenge pump, I need to get a 45° AN6 fitting to connect the pump to the tank at the right angle.



The fuel pump hooked up to the oil pressure regulator, I am not sure what AN size the suction line from the oil tank should be so I´ll save that one for later. AN8 should work but perhaps it is better to go up one size to make sure the pump isn´t strained.



Now it is time to go shopping for more fittings, a 40mm aluminum tube is also needed to make the fill necks to the tanks.

Cheers!

The sight glasses for the oil and fuel tanks I ordered a month ago finally arrived today!
