* If you are going with TS Flightlines [https://www.tsflightlines.com/home.html] for ready-made fuel lines, they will tell you which exact variant you need to order from Andair. E.g. for injection systems that need a return line, you need to order "EFS20-20-D2-TMT Duplex Extension Valve" ("4 EF20 elbows on the wing ports and 2 MF20 fittings on the discharge/return ports on the valve front."). You will also need the "6" extension kit" (4 holes in the Fascia plate) which means the fascia plate can come off when you need access to the tunnel. | * If you are going with TS Flightlines [https://www.tsflightlines.com/home.html] for ready-made fuel lines, they will tell you which exact variant you need to order from Andair.

* Andair has different ways to extend the shaft up to the top of the tunnel. You need to order what they call the "extension kit", not just the extension option of the valve itself. | * Andair has different ways to extend the shaft up to the top of the tunnel.

* Andair says on their website that the 20-20 model is only good up to 200 hp. TS flightlines says otherwise. All RV-10 that they know of use the 20-20 model and it's been verified to let through 80 gph. | * Andair says on their website that the 20-20 model is only good up to 200 hp.
