Brief Description: Another Fuel Line attempt filter to boost pump
|
|
Made a new fuel line, filter to boost pump. This one has a nice bend exiting the gear leg to get to the boost pump. It looks rather silly, but, it works. Tried a fourth attempt, using this one as a model for the start and end points, trying to reduce amount of bend degrees, but, this just did not work - it's okay, 3/8" soft alum tube is pretty cheap in the grand scheme of things.
Not finished with the install yet. Need 2 more AN931-6-16 grommets for passing through the gear leg tower, though the plans call for a smaller snap bushing. When the grommets arrive, will install on the fuel line after the fuel line is run through the gear leg. Then, flare the tube ends with the connectors attached, then install the fuel line connectors to the filter and pump, and finall coinvince the grommets to play nice. Junding from the prelim fitting, I don't see a major issue.
I have a 2006 vintage QB kit with 2011 plans, some things have changed, and sometimes it take me a while to sort out the differences and go with what I think is best (or accomplish!).
