Brief Description: Fuel Line Re-Do
|
|
While the left console cover is off, now is the time to address an issue that's been lingering... the main wiring bundle on the left side of the airframe exiting the gear leg tower is in close proximity to the fuel line as it exits the left gear leg tower.
This fuel line was made prior to any wiring. I thought it would be OK, but it is not OK.
I decided to mock up a new fuel line where the one of the main directives is to avoid the wiring bundle as much as possible, I used heavy wire to mock up a design, when went about bending some tube. The design calls for the fuel line to exit the gear leg tower and turn 90 degrees inboard, then 90 degrees toward the aft, where it makes a near 180 degree turn, followed by a short 45 degrees down, and a reverse 45 degree up, finally a 180 degree to align with the fuel filter.
If this works, I should be inches away from the wiring bundle.
