Brief Description: Re-Make new Right Fuel Line - Valve to Tank
|
|
After reviewing the Right Fuel Line, Fuel Selector to Tank, I was not happy with the clearance of the line immediately from the selector to the first clamp. Too close to the fuel line from the selector to the filter. Decided to try to 'fix' it, by changing the bend from a 90 to two 45s. Well, this did not go so well, ended up damaging the line, see frame 1.
Made a new line, and the clearance is much better (see frame 3). used the old line as a templace for the new line. I did learn in the process, if you have to re-bend to increase the degree, make sure the tube is snug in the bender, otherwise, bad things happen....
