I neglected to mention the desirability of having a flow restrictor in the line. I run a sheet metal screw into a brass fitting until it just drips fluid at op pressure. I then cut the head off the screw so the fitting can be assembled and mounted near the main line. I do the same with oil pressure gauges. Hot oil in your crotch is even less friendly than cold gas. For the Djet and Ljet fuel rail connection, I have just slotted the plug screw's threads so it leaks and then put the hose over it. Ralph > No idea is so good it can't be improved. > rickydick > >
