Brief Description:  Fuel system work

I was thinking that since I didn’t have the tools to drill the rudder pushrods, I would jump over and work on the fuel system. I have debated about whether to re-make the right fuel tank line as I cut the corner on the tubing where it exits to the wing and if I make a fiberglass console storage on the right side, I will be cutting into the storage space. So, I bent a new right tube using the old one as a template and adding 3.5” so as not to cut the corner. I had a fair amount of disassembly of the surrounding fuel filter and other tubing as there is less extra space to maneuver the tubing back into place. But, the new one fits fairly well and there is more console storage room if needed. As I wanted to test fit the fuel tubing, I also started installing the fuel selector valve and the other fuel tubes to get the “Real” fit. So far so good… but it did take a long time.
