HUGE SNIP>>>

Guys... gotta get my 2 cents worth in here....

I found that on my gyroplane installation, the remote assembly  vibrated
loose when attached to the engine or it's direct attachments....   yet when I
attached it to the frame (the firewall or engine mount) the system  worked
fabulously.

The small vibrations of the engine, redrive, and prop should not be
overlooked as a failure point contribution system when attaching  hoses with
pseudo lever arms to these threaded attachments.

Mounting the remote filter system past the rubber bushing engine  mounts will
provide a pound of prevention!!    and oh.. btw.. the same is true for
ignition coils as well!

Ok, my 2 cents worth... we now return to your regularly scheduled
transmissions!

I agree with Gary. My coils, fuel pressure regulator, fuel and oil
filters are attached to the firewall. I had the oil pressure sensor
on the engine block and failed in 20 hours. I opened it and to see
what's inside: it had few delicate moving parts that did not take
vibration too well.
