Brief Description:  Tighty up

I have to admit something terrible. When I was torqing down my fuel lines to the bulkhead fittings I would hear small little cracking sounds as if I was separating the bulkhead from the flox inside the sump. Now, the sounds were VERY small and it could have been nothing at all, BUT for extra insurance I went ahead and slathered pure epoxy on the fitting/fuse intersection to create a good seal. I'm not really worried but once those consoles go in I will NOT want to re-visit this area. I also plan on doping one more tank leak test prior to installing the consoles just in case.
Next I added dry Flox buildups to the places where the ribbed conduit entered the larger grey conduit. I don't want them coming apart when I start shoving wire through them. Looking back I think I may have been better to wrap them tightly in aluminum tape instead. That stuff is rigid and awesome but as long as no flox got inside the conduit then I'm sure I'll be fine.
