FlyingDude Posted November 30, 2022 Report Share Posted November 30, 2022 Guys, What's the minimum clearance between the fuel line and exhaust in the engine compartment? Logically, as far as possible. I just can't find it in AC43.13b. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A64Pilot Posted December 1, 2022 Report Share Posted December 1, 2022 I don’t think you will find a set number, just a requirement for fire shield. As a mechanic I’d say if it’s not scorching as in any evidence of heat the fire shield your fine On edit, of course I’ve been wrong before 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carusoam Posted December 1, 2022 Report Share Posted December 1, 2022 As far away as practical…. In case something leaks… Lets invite @M20Doc to the conversation… There may be some good examples of best routing possible… including where to install the FF sensor….

For your E model the closest the oil hoses get is under cylinders 2&4 but there also should be a metal heat shield to secure and protect the hoses.

Yetti Posted December 1, 2022 Report Share Posted December 1, 2022 I can't think of a place where it is less than 4-6 inches using the factory routing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
