I'm a pretty simple guy but I'm always impressed when fuel lines I built two years ago from the front of the RV-12, with several bends, end up mating perfectly with the banjo fitting on the fuel pump assembly that arrived last week. OK, I probably could have made it 1/16" shorter.
I sure hope the new design with sealing washers works because there's a LOT of potential failure points here. I'm being super careful.
This is the old design where the fuel line comes under the shut-off valve instead of looping aft around it so I installed the standoff and firesleeve as directed in the SB to avoid chafing.
That's going to be a tight squeeze there when the tailcone goes on.
There is one electrical connection there and the wiring is apparently in the final subkit. Not sure how hard that would be with the tailcone on but I would like to get aft skin, window, and canopy done at some point. After the cowling maybe.
I found a short piece of ATO-035x3/8 - it was part of the manometer - that was perfect for the little short two-inch line which, after I carefully made it -- fit perfectly.
