Brief Description:  Bending Fuel lines

A little tedious but only had to scrap one bent part. The fit was not intuitive and there really is a sequence to work through because the fit of one tubing section will deetermine the next component and it's easier to prioritize and work each piece out carefully instead of trying to rough out all the pieces.

If a flare is too long, it is possible to trim the flare off, re-cut with the tubing cutting, and re-flare with the loss of about 1/4" in length.

Proudly I proclaim that I didn't forget to install the AN fitting on anything before the flare, but it wasn't easy. Every time I picked up the flare tool, I said, "where's the AN fitting?" before I could proceed.

Still have to bend the tank feed lines, and the line to the engine. In addition, the position of the fuel flow sensor, probably at the front of the housing ...

BTW --- 213.7 hrs to date in 2011.
