    Default 912is Fine Fuel Filter Mounting

    Im about to mount my fine filter and have two questions. First this assembly seems large to be secured by two bolts at just one end. It seems to me vibration could cause the tube at the other end to move quite a bit. Do other secure this?

    And somewhat to that point Ive made the 180 tubing bend as tight as a feel comfortable and have positioned the assembly as close to the thru firewall fuel fittings (inbound) as far as I can and the tubing is close to the engine mount. Should I bend the tubing away from the engine mount OR secure to the mount with zipties and silicone tape for antichafe?

    I'm currently working on the same thing. I'm using a large Adel clamp around the filter. And I will likely use a small one on the bend too attached to the frame.

    Joe, Yours looks nearly identical to mine. I placed adel clamps onto the fuel line and the engine mount. It gets really solid then.

    I used a split hose around the frame and zip tied the tubing to that. No other clamps, and it has been working fine for over 100 hours.

    Awe, holy cow, where were you, with that idea when I was fussing with the Adel clamps? You all know how difficult it is to get four, highly sprung, clamp flanges to line up for its one bolt.
