Brief Description:  Common Sump 1

Ahhh common fuel sump time. This has been an adventure to plan. Now I'm going to build it. After some test setups I confirmed the front postion of the rear passenger thigh rest AKA 'the sump'.

Pic 1 shows it is finally placed in a position and height that will work. I expect it will be 14-18 liters which is what I need for the engine return line and the special fuel filter I'm going to use. Years of planning have gone into this. Yeah... I have a lot of notes and files! I'm going to capture the rear control stick in this so it all blends together. You'll see.

Pic 2 is the outside of the front sump piece. I've done it it the regular araldyte 360 system epoxy I use. Pic 3 shows the first ply of the inside (fuel side) of the sump. This is the EZ-Epoxy that was super expensive and I have limited quantities of. That said, its a very wet layup. I peel plyed it and after cure and a lite sand I've put another ply of BID on it. Also wet and peel plyed. This is going to be my fuel proof sump!
