Mooney requires steel fittings and they couldn't be replaced with the =
normal AN Aluminum fittings.  I think I know why now!=20

one in all the velocity pictures.  Brass with two 3/8" npt fittings.

  Today I got the Summit Racing catalog and it has an aluminum fuel =
shutoff - AN fitting - bulkhead penetrator, all in one.  =
