Brief Description:  Fuel line - Redo the right and left tank line

I had the additional 3/8" tube that came in from the Van's order and decided that I really didn't want to go forward with the right tube as it was. It probably would have been fine - but I wanted to replace it - so I did...I took the first one I had made and used it as "kind of" a template - I decided to change the second one a bit, but it did help having a template. It's always easier the second time, but I have to say - I really like the way this one came out. I looks sweet! As much as I don't like bending tubes - this one came out really well and it is nice to look at it - and be done with it. I also have plenty of extra hanging out the right side of the fuselage to bend forward for the right flop tube tank. A good deay in the shop. I also made another left tube - a little longer - so I can insert a "T" to tie in the return line.
