Brief Description:  Drilled the fuel pick-up tubes.

I had trouble drilling the fuel holes in the pick-up tube. Even though I drilled the tube in a drill press the bit wandered on the round tube and the result was a mess. (upper tube in the photo.
For the next tube I made a drill fixture with pre-drilled guide holes. This resulted in a much better hole pattern in the tube.
Since I am going to plumb in a fuel return tube into the fuel tanks, just in case I decide to use a fuel injected engine that requires a fuel return system, I had already ordered two additional pick-up tubes. I will cut off the tube I messed up above the miss-drilled holes and use the cut-down part as the fuel return fitting. I will do this for both tanks.
