Brief Description:  Adjust 3/8" Fuel Lines: Valve to Tanks

I was able to fish the very stiff 3/8" fuel line tubing from the fuel selector valve through the gear leg brackets and fuselage side skins by myself quite some time ago but there were some small kinks and scratches that I wanted to get rid of that I couldn't do by myself. Fortunately, I left LOTS of spare tubing on the valve end so, with Matt's help and by using some flexible nylon tubing around the aluminum fuel line tubing in the vicinity of the gear leg brackets for protection, we were able to snake the good tubing through and push all of the tubing with the kinks and scratches out the side of the fuselage. Matt was on the outside pulling and I was sitting in the fuselage pushing and keeping the protective nylon tubing in place. It took a while for each side but it was MUCH easier and faster with 2 people. No kinks or scratches!
