Brief Description: Electric fuel pump; air vent scat tubing
I began installing the Airflow Performance electric fuel pump today. First, I fabricated the saddle angles and ES Airflow bracket, then I located, drilled and clecoed the angles to the floor.
Next, I bagan planning the location of the fuel filter. It will be mounted to the front side of the left gear tower, but the exact location is still to be determined. The installation is a bit more complicated than it looks, because there are several potential conflicts nearby -- most notably the front cockpit air vent scat tube and the throttle quadrant cables. I'll work out these conflicts tomorrow.
In the meantime, I laid out the air vent line and tried to get an idea of various routing possibilites. I'd like to keep it relatively unobtrusive from the pilot's seat, but it appears to be impossible to make it completely invisible without cutting a 3" hole near the top of the gear tower, something I'd rather not do.
This is the approximate location where the pump will be mounted.
