Fuel Line sizing

What size supply and return lines are being used for the Viking installation?
The original Van's lines are 3/8" supply and 1/4" return.
Is the 1/4" return adequate?

Ronald A. Russ said… - Hay Brenda your doing a great job. I have the first RV12 with the Viking Engine. There is probably no difference in flight characteristic with the Rolex and the Viking. The Viking winds up very quickly and jumps off the ground. I'm still adjusting the prop. Changed from 14 degrees to 13.5. Improved rpm and top end. Going to change to 13 degrees. Got my RPM up to 5500 at 13.5. I haven't posted much at every week its a new problem.. Have been having brake problems since day one. Burned out left pads in 5 hour. Bleeding is a problem.. Spent all weekend changing over wiring to new system. Once finished I plan on putting hours on plane. Its is really a ball to fly. Put kruger shade on last week. A must. Ron Russ
