Brief Description:  Smoke Tank Manifold and Lines

I got all the fitting installed into the manifod and then installed the manifold to the firewall.

I then worked on installing the smoke pump onto the tank mount that had cured well. I began cutting and routing the supply lines for the oil to make it's way toward the manifold.

I must say that although I don't use it abundantly, I LOVE the Clamp-tite tool that uses stainless steel safety wire to create a clamping device that works so much better than hose clamps. I have used it for a couple repairs on my shop compressor air line and they have held for years!!! So I used the Clamp-tite tool to secure the lines for the smoke oil.....I have never had one leak and they look REALLY good on the hoses.

I placed the tank in the baggage area several times to try to determine the best place to get the oil through the firewall with the disconnece. After pondering I ordered a little more hardware from ACS to work out my plan I devised.
