Dynon skyview fuel pressure sensor placement?

by Rhett Mitchell in 912 / 914 Technical Questions 11 years ago

I imagine that the "T" piece on the mech pump discharge line, that clamps to the balance pipe, would be the correct place for this sensor.
There is a blank plug on the back of this fitting, facing firewall. Is this for fitting a pressure sensor?
The sensor is 1/8 NPT(not sure if M or F), what is this plugs thread?
Anyone have a source for an adaptor fitting?
I have wing tanks and no electric pump.

Hi Rhett,

Don't place the fuel pressure sender on the engine. The vibration has killed many. A better placement is on the firewall and slightly above the engine level if possible. Having it hang low does not allow any fresh fuel exchange and the fuel gets old and starts to clog off the sending units orifice.
