Brief Description:  Finished routing and installing fuel lines

Finally received the fuel line bypass documentation from Pipistrel. Removed the fuel lines and valve to complete the fuel valve bypass mod (bypassing it under the cabin floor, Option A in the manual) and re-installed the fuel valve. I found that the elevator push rod struck the fuel line clamp on the bypass tee. This limited the movement of the elevator (the push rod moves up and down as well as back and forth). Because I did not have the elevator installed, I didn't know if there was enough travel (it would be close based on the movement of the stick. I decided to move the bypass to the rear of the seat (option B in the bypass mod manual). Pulled all the fuel lines and valve, moved the bypass, drilled a hole in the bottom floor of the passenger compartment for the 3rd fuel line and reinstall (3rd time now) the fuel valve and the fuel lines. Used loctite and locking paint on fuel fitting clamps. Fuel system in fuselage is now complete (still need to attach wing tank fuel lines to secondary tanks)
