• The Biplane Forum is a large global active community of biplane builders, owners and pilots. From Pitts to Skybolts, to older barnstormers, all types are welcome. In addition to our active community, our content boasts exhaustive technical information which is often sought after for projects and maintenance. This information has accumulated over the 12+ years the forum has been in existence.

    The Biplane Forum is a private community. Subscriptions are only $49.99/year or $6.99/month to gain access to this great community and unmatched source of information not found anywhere else on the web. We are also a great resource for non biplane users, since many GA aircraft are built the same way (fabric and tube construction). Annual membership also comes with two BiplaneForum.com decals.

I'm trying to understand the impacts of stepping down a 3/8 fuel line to a 1/8NPT inlet and outlet for a new fuel pump (Facet 40313). The system will remain 3/8" lines everywhere except the in/out of the boost pump.

The current system is all 3/8" line and being free flowing in series this would effectively reduce the line diameter from .29 to .2 diameter at the intersection of the new pump.

Would this restriction still support enough free fuel flow for an O-320 running a PS5C pressure carb?
