Brief Description:  New Fuel Vent Lines

Making the new fuel vent lines to replace the previous one not quite right. Use the previous attempt as a template, but made 2 inches shorter to accomodate the clearance needed at the top of the gear leg. The plans call for an adel clamp at the top of the fuel vent line to hold on it in place, but locating the hole for the screw and bolt will be really difficult. I placed the adel clamp forward of the first lightening hole of the gear leg tower, which works well.

Vent lines are bent forward about 45 degreess where they exit the bottom of the fuse, and cut perpendicular to the fuse bottom skin, so the hold is forward facing. The vent line will protrude from the bottom skin of the fuse about an inch once the gear leg bolt cover plate is installed.
