Brief Description: Long fuel return line from fire wall shelf (28-06)
It’s interesting that all the previous directions for bending the tubes include detail bend templates, but not for the final return fuel line from the fire wall shelf to the aft bulkhead fitting. The directions (step 7) just a notes to start the first 90 deg bend at 14.25” from the end of the tube. I also remembered that the Parker bender creates a tighter bend so I actually started it at 14” from the end. The rest of the bends are “as required” to make it conform to the intended path. So I had to do some thinking and planning to figure out each bend. All seemed to work out well and fit very nice. I did most of the bends with the bender, then just tweaked it by hand to make the final adjustments. Interesting enough I was able to complete all the return lines without breaking into the extra 16’ I bought from Vans, even with the mess up, so now I have extra for my next build (RV-10?).
