Brief Description: Fuel Line Redo - Final Fitting?
Final Fitting for the cabin fuel lines, I hope. Making the decision to go fuel injection meant that I had to replace the low pressure boost pump with a high pressure boost pump, because of that I had to re-plumb just about all of the lines, but they came out so much better this time than last.
• The Right tank line to the fuel valve now does not come too close to the main spar bolt holes, hopefully leaving plenty of space to install the spar bolt when the time comes. • The fuel filter is now angles about 45 degrees from the fuse centerline which gives more space to make the fuel line bends necessary from the valve to the filter and the filter to the boost pump. • The fuel line exiting the forward side of the left gear leg tower is s straight line to the boost pump, and a straight line to the firewall penetration. This eliminated a crazy bend in the previous fuel line to the old boost pump which was mounted at a 45 degree angle relative to the cockpit floor. The new boost pump will use the same cradle as the fuel filter - on order from Vans.
