Hey Flats, I put it on the feed line to the racor. Physically it is near
the front of the engine (the engines are under the aft berth) so I can reach
them in a hurry if I need to. All my fuel lines are 3/8" rubber so it was
real easy to ad them. 4 clamps each (double clamped each side) and I was in
business. It seems to be a neat low tech solution to my problem !
Fair Winds !
