Brief Description:  Fuel System install #4

Finished up the right fuel tank feed line by bending the part where it exits the fuselage. Gasket in place, I trimmed it per the plans and flared the end.
Then I fabricated the short feedline for the left tank. Again I had to do it twice as the first one didn't work out. I ended up turning the inlet on the Andair fuel valve to point it down so I could accomodate the curves. I flared the ends and put it in place with the gasket. I trimmed the cushions for the filter and fuel pump assembly from the gasket material supplied by vans.

The left tank has a flop tube to it exits the fuselage and turns forward with a short line that will connect the tank and fuselage pumbing inside the wing root. The right wing is a start shot from the fuselage to the fitting on the fuel tank.

By the way, this session marks 1200hrs in a little over 3 years of building. I need to get a solid year in this year.
