Brief Description:  Fuel Plumbing Through the Cabin 5

I received the 1/4"-to-5/15" hose adapter parts in the mail yesterday so this morning I took the time to reassemble the return hoses. Originally, I had a single, 90 degree barbed fitting that was a clean approach to routing the hoses along the wing center spar and then forward through the channel created by the center console. To account for the change in return fuel line size between the fuel tank (1/4") and the fuel selector valve (5/16") I purchased two parts that, when combined, accommodate the hose size transition and replace the original 90 degree barbed fitting.

Now the two return fuel line 90 degree fittings are each made up of two parts: a 90 degree, 1/4" barbed to AN6 male fitting and an AN6 female to 5/16" barbed fitting. This morning I removed the 1/4" hoses from the original 90 degree fittings, connected the 2 parts for the new 90 degree fittings (using fuel-lube in the AN6 threads for a tighter, yet removable seal) and attached the original 1/4" hose to the 1/4" barbed fitting. I will add the 5/16" hose to each fitting when it arrives in the mail today or tomorrow.
