Brief Description: Fuel Plumbing Through the Cabin 4
Continued work on the fuel system through the cockpit. Today I accomplished the following:
- Finished resizing the notch through the left center console side panel to final size and lined the opening with ribber trim to protect the fuel lines passing through it.
- Cut out a notch on the right side center console side panel for the right side fuel lines to pass through.
- Riveted 2 cable tie mounts to the fuel hose platform in preparation for final installation.
- Added union couplers to the fuel tank ends of all the fuel lines. This is where the hose passing through the fuselage from the wing will attach into the system.
- Trimmed the hoses running from the 90 degree coupler to the fuel selector valve for final installation.
Stopped work when I figured out a 1/4" hose will not fit on a 5/16" nipple (the fuel selector) so I ordered a 1/4" to 5/16" adapter I will install when it arrives later next week.
Left center console side panel with enlarged notch and rubber flange added.
The fuel hose platform with cable tie mounts installed (plus zip ties in place).
How the hoses will look when installed. Somewhat complicated looking.
