I got an obstinate hangar door motor all fixed; that was the sum of my day work at the hangar, but I went back out around 10 and did some more work at night.
Put together the fuel filter assembly (didn't tighten the banjo fittings. I got my Amazon order of Loctite 567. In the far past, Van's recommended Fuel Lube/EZ Turn on fuel line pipe fittings. Now they recommend against it and this product comes highly recommended in the RV universe. Not sure I like it that much.
First, Fuel Lube, applied properly, was super effective, if super sticky. This product takes 24 hours to cure and apparently only really "hardens" in the threads, not on that little amount that is twisted out. We'll see.
I'm going super slow on this part of the build to make sure everything is done properly. I've reviewed ALL of my work on the project so far and reread Section 5.
To that end, I was extra careful on the AN816 fittings etc. were installed finger tight and then given 1/2 turns.
There is a two-foot section of ATO-035x3/8 that comes with the powerplant kit but I don't know if that's specifically for some of the work in this section. I ordered more from Van's after I searched around for some in the workshop. Wasn't sure if tht two-foot section is for something else, so didn't want to use it.
