Brief Description: LEFT tank misc fittings & interiors (2 of 2)
I only figured out yesterday, that I installed the retaining clip for the end of the vent tube, at the wrong clock position on the fuel filler assembly. In photo #2 the clip is closest to the camera. It was supposed to be on the rivet farthest from the camera.
Drilling out the rivet and redoing was an option, but the aluminum vent tube is super pliable, so I just bent it in a half-loop around the fuel filler, and terminated it in the clip where I installed it. You can't see the vent tube from outside the wing.
I did the same thing on the right wing, so I'll do the same trick there.
