Do you think a 1/8th fitting will flow enough fuel at 2-3 lbs
pressure? Karibian

I think so but I am going to do a few flow tests when
I get a chance. Two psi is a 4.43 foot head.

Here is a theoretical chart for flow orifices sizes using two psi.
A jic 1/8th 37 degree flare fitting has an ID of .175". The HP
numbers are based on a .55 BSFC as I recall.

These will be for one rotor only. The main feed line for
both rotors will be larger.

The last chart is for a one cylinder piston engine so
that is half a rotor.
