Brief Description: Plumbing!

Went to Tractor Supply and found the adapter I needed. Got home and went to work on the plumbing fixtures. Torqued them all to the proper torque, using the torque calculator on Dan C.'s site, which converts the specified torque when using an adaptor like the crows foot wrench that you need to use on these fuel line fittings and lines. Then I prosealed in the vent lines where they touched the provided snap bushings, just to keep them from vibrating (ok, I had some extra proseal left over and I didn't want to waste it.) Then I attached the right access plate, and attached and torqued the fuel return line. I wanted to make sure I got the screws tight, and I actually broke one. I had to remove what was left of the screw from the inside, using a tiny pair of vise grips, which have come in handy so far. Got it out without too much trouble, and put a new screw in, being careful not to tighten it too much. Finally, prosealed the fuel return line to the second rib, so that it will return the fuel to the second fuel bay, between the 2nd and 3rd ribs. I just have to install the float and then the baffle on the right tank. The left tank needs the access plate and the float, then it will be ready too.
