Brief Description: Installed fuel lines and tank sensor line to cente
|
|
This is a nightmare task, because the lines must be routed so they don't touch anything that moves, or vibrates, yet must be so they can retract into the center console. It is also difficult to get photos, due to the tight spacing.
1.Fabricated stiffner to hold fuel lines in center of console.
2.Routed right fuel line in front of seat, along with sensor wire.
3.Routed right fuel line into center console, installing plastic clamp to hold line away from rudder cables.
4.Installed anti-chafe device on vertical member in front of seat that rubbed fuel line.
5.Routed right fuel line through center console, and through clamp on stiffner, then back to fuel selector.
6.Sensor wire routed with fuel line.
7.Put disconnect space lug on both ends of wire, and connected wire to fuel gauge. Other end is ready to accept male from wing.
8.Snap tied wire to fuel line.
9.Repeated steps 2-8 for left fuel line and sensor wire.
10.Routed output of fuel selector through stiffner, then to sump.
11.Sump output must be routed through firewall to fuel pump.
I'm not sure I'm done with this yet. When everything is in place, it may need snap ties to hold it away from the rudder pedals and cables. We'll see!
