Brief Description:  Fuel lines debacle

Not often the weekend turns into a total disaster but this was one such occasion.

The fuel filter and pump arrived which would allow me to make and install the lines. Installed them and then bent the right tank fuel line to fuel tank selector. Then bent the line from the selector to the filter. Here's where it went South.

Tried to use some wire to model the selector to left tank line. I couldn't get anything to work without insane bends. Then I went to flare the selector to the and I couldn't move the collar enough to flare. Also couldn't get a sleeve on the right tank line.

I had zip tied the pump in filter in place which turned out to be a mistake.

Very frustrating as I used up most of the supplied tubing without managing to make any usable lines.
