I ran all of mine out of aluminum, since it is easier to fabricate the
lines, and no rusting problem either. either way, it would be more secure
and long lasting than the rubber vent system.

Scott, Alex,
Thanks for your feedback.
On the AN fittings should they be aluminum or steel? I would think
aluminum but the online builder's manual lists part numbers for steel.
Thanks,
Joe

Use the 3/8" diameter vent lines and AN fittings throughout.
Fuel fittings can also be found at Earl's performance automotive supply.

I sealed my first strake this morning and am ready this afternoon to
install the fuel and vent lines. After reviewing my building instructions
as well as the current instruction manual on line, I have found the
instruction to be substantially different. My manual calls for using
rubber automotive fuel hose between the fuel lines and the sump (2 lines
each side to 4 fittings in the sump.) The new instructions call for
combining lines via a tee and running aluminum all the way to the sump.
My manual and parts supplied call for 1/4' vent line and the new calls
out 3/8.
Anyone have an opinion on the best approach?
Thanks,
Joe
