Brief Description:  Fuel lines

I removed the kinked fuel return line (and the supply line I'd installed the other day) and measured for a set of custom Aeroquip Teflon hoses.

Because of the angle of the new 90-degree hose-end fitting I'll be using on the bottom of the fuel filter, I had to slightly enlarge the hole in the forward side of the gear tower.

I also messed around with the hose-end fittings. They're specifically made for Teflon hoses, and they're a little different from the aircraft hose fittings I've installed before. I cut the hose and attempted to install a straight fitting, with some success, but not enough to make me feel comfortable installing the hose yet. I'll play around with the process over the next day or two. When I make one I like, I'm going to have it pressure-tested.
